"TrueType fonts which have no outline data but consist of bitmaps only
 should not have a 'head' table. They should use the byte-by-byte identical
 'bhed' table instead. The Mac OS uses the presence of a 'bhed' to signal
 the fact that a font has no outlines."

Looks like someone has blazed this trail before us and there's a standard 
way of identifying bitmap-only fonts encased in a TrueType file.
