Use the version I've just posted in the cvs tree. It fixes bugs and
cleans up confusions (I hope).

I was wrong -- the otb format does have a 'glyf' table. So if you want
to avoid a glyf table entirely you would have to use the dfont output.

However if you want to have a 'glyf' table with dummy outlines then you
might what to try what is now called "(faked) MS bitmap only sfnt (ttf)"

Ah... you have a team. Ok, that makes it seem more feasible!

FontForge has a very basic grey-scale editor. It might be adequate. Or
you might prefer to use something like gimp and them import the bitmaps
(See File->Import, Format: Image Template)
