to make to the bdf loader to avoid losing information, and eventuall
I realized last night that my proposal was incomplete. I like David's
suggestion of getting rid of my separate lists (for prop/non-prop) and

I've finally released a build of fontforge containing the code for the
'BDF ' sfnt-table.
I'm attaching two (fontforge) scripts that can be used to convert a
bunch of bdf/pcf files into an otb and back to bdf files.
$ fontforge -script bdf2sfnt.pe outputfile.otb strike1.bdf [strike2.bdf ...]
