[Here a further comment from Alexey]

OK, I have have attached a test font (Ambrosia.ttf by George
Williams, with some modifications) to my bug report. This font
has a grayscale bitmap strike at 17 pixels. Again the glyph for
"a" is specially distorted to make the bitmap easily
distinguishable from rasterized outlines.

However please note that FontForge can generate either
bit-aligned monochrome bitmaps or byte-aligned grayscale bitmaps
with bit depth 8, and this doesn't cover all formats
theoretically allowed by the TTF specification.

Both tt_sbit_decoder_load_bit_aligned() and tt_sbit_decoder_load_byte_aligned() in ttsbit0.c assume they always deal with single bits and thus can handle only b&w bitmaps. There is no such problem with the code in ttsbit.c.
