When I use ftdump sserife.font on my system I get the same output as 
what you sent.

What does the "Invalid Pixel Size" indicate?

The below command succeeds and renders the font text.

    ftview 11 sserife.font

The below command fails with invalid pixel size (although on Windows the 
screen output resolution is 96dpi).

    ftview -r 96 11 sserife.fon

Also the below commands fail with the invalid pixel size as well.

    ftview 10 sserife.fon
    ftview 13 sserife.fon

Even when specifying sizes listed from ftdump I still get the invalid 
pixel size.  For example, 11 which works is not listed in the file.

Also, I'm able to use this font in WordPad, for example, and pick 8, 10, 
11, etc. point sizes and it works.
