I finally found what was going on: Pango and freetype were actually  
working just fine, as far as I can tell. The problem was that wcrtomb  
on MacOS X does not necessarily perform Unicode->UTF8 conversion  
because it's locale sensitive, and it seems that the default locale  
setting is not UTF8 friendly for this call.

Simply hand coding the conversion seemed to work fine, but I'm not  
sure what other places in the code rely on wide character functionality.
