Depending on how the sfnt was created, this might be the problem.

FontForge will not create a 'glyf' (or 'CFF ' or 'typ1') table if it is
creating an OpenType Bitmap, or an "sbits only dfont", but if Qianqian
selected "In TTF" with no outline font, FontForge produces something
designed to fool windows into accepting the font -- that means it has a
'glyf' table with a bunch of empty glyphs, and an EBSC table that maps
all pixel sizes to one of the supplied sizes.

I hope that's what happened. In which case the solution is probably just
to generate an OpenType Bitmap
