Thus the width, w, of the Image associated with a Subfont s is s->info[s->n].x. bdf2subf wasn't creating the n-th array index. the new, updated packages are on the web at the same place: http://pages.cpsc.ucalgary.ca/~mirtchov/p9/fonts/ including even the 18x18ko korean glyphs we couldn't encode the last time. I've tested all fonts to the best of my knowledge using 'unicode 0x0-0xffff'. andrey ps: the fonts that look the best are: 10x20 6x13 7x13 8x13 9x15 9x18 pps: i've started the efonts conversion, but that'll take a few hours. then testing is a few more, so wait until tomorrow to download ~70mb of fonts :)
