There's no guarantee that a bitmap font has a 16 pixel strike.  I'd
recommend

        FT_Set_Pixel_Sizes(face,
                           face->available_sizes[0].width,
                           face->available_sizes[0].height);

after checking that face->num_fixed_sizes > 0.

By the way: accessing compressed PCF font files with FreeType will be
horribly slow.  I recommend that you switch to bitmap SFNTs, which you
can generate using fonttosfnt, available in XFree86 and X.Org CVS under

  xc/programs/fonttosfnt/
