I changed the signature of the hasGlyphs() method after I had
some discussion with SB. I don't remember if I discussed this
change also with HDU, but obviously I didn't.

The reason for this change was a general problem we have
with the representation of glyphs. A glyph consists of one
ore more multibyte characters which are displayed as one symbol.
HDU may correct me if I'm wrong, I'm no expert here.
In VCL the OutputDevice::HasGlyphs() method uses indices of type
xub_StrLen, which refer to the number of characters,
but not the number of glyphs. This may change in the future.

If I would have used indices also for the UNO API method,
it won't be possible to change the semantics of an index.
Therefore SB asked me, if those indices are really necessary.
And the answer was no, for the problem to solve those
indices were not necessary. Therefore the decision was
to have rather a stable than flexible method.

But all this doesn't mean that this cannot be changed
for OOo 3.0.
