All of the font rendering happens in src/ft2font.cpp, where the
freetype file is loaded, the glyphs set, and rendered to a pixel buffer.
agg just copies the bitmap into its own pixel buffer. So ft2font is
the place to look. Squares typically mean that the character you are
requesting is not in the font file you have loaded.
