The chance of this working is minimal. For certain, I have never
tested bitmapped opentype fonts, and I also am sure that subsetting
won't work at all. Also, I am even less interested in bitmapped
opentype fonts than I am in pk files.

Dumping a ready-made pk file in the local directory worked last
time I tried it.

Best wishes,
Taco
