Hin-Tak,


thanks for the font.

This was a typo, now fixed in git.

This, however, is a bug in the font itself: It sets its embedded
bitmap type to value 7 (bit-aligned), while the data is type 6
(byte-aligned).  I've fixed this in the git repository also so that
FreeType can manage such errors.

It seems that this serious error could only survive because OS X no
longer uses bitmap strikes.  Perhaps you can report this to Apple
anyway...
