I didn't realize that wchar_t* could be used by fman.glyph.  I thought it
was looking for 2 chars per character as a char* array.  Thanks for the
help.

This question was definitely kind of simplistic for a C/C++ question.  I've
been in java land the last 4 years, and am just now re-acquainting myself
with the wonderful details of working with all of the varieties of strings
in c/c++/win32/mfc/atl/ole land.  It is one of the few areas where I prefer
java to c/c++.
