Oh. That's easy. That's my "Bitmap only format for windows". It includes
a small 'glyf' and 'loca' table. It includes a blank glyph for each
glyph in any strike.

My windows bitmap only font also contains an EBSC table which is
supposed to map likely input pixel sizes to an existing strike.

In other words, if you have 12,13,15,16 and the user asks for 14 the
EBSC table should map it to either 13 or 15 (I forget which).
