In dlls/gdi/freetype.c, load_VDMX refuses to process ratio records in which bCharSet is 0. Looking at the meaning of bCharSet and the layout of the VDMX table http://www.microsoft.com/OpenType/OTSpec/vdmx.htm, I can see no rational reason for this, and no reason appears in the code.
Since 13th December this has been generating a FIXME message for some fonts.
Does anybody know of a reason why this check is necessary? Commenting it hasn't hurt anything obvious.

I think you can safely remove that if() statement. Feel free to submit a patch.
Huw.
