The bottom line is that we want to allow the user to pick a font and have it work. If it doesn't look as good, then they can decide to pick something else. But we want to still be able to render the requested face at the requested size.I suggest to disable bitmap fonts altogether since their use is very limited; IMHO they only make sense as console fonts. Use the FT_IS_SCALABLE macro to check for that. Werner
Looks like the windows "choose font" dialog takes a flag, CF_SCALABLEONLY which only presents scalable fonts to the user. I think we'll just make sure to pass in this flag and avoid the issue of non-scalable fonts entirely.
