There is no recommended way to obtain a FT_Face.  If you don't have a FT_Face,
that API almost certainly is of no use to you.

You either need the mentioned API or Pango.  But the two do not really mix.
We may be able to help if you provide specifics of the problem you are facing
and what you are trying to achieve.

As for your question, FT_Open_Face() is the way to create a new FT_Face.
