No. This seems to be a bug in bdftobogl. Adding a bit debug shows:

bdftobogl -b unifont-reduced.bdf > unifont-reduced.bgf

Probably in bdftobogl.c,

  if (my_write(fd, font->index, index_size * sizeof(int *)))

should really be

  if (my_write(fd, font->index, index_size * sizeof(int)))

(the bogl author seems to be of the "long" = "make sure it's really 32
bit" fraction. Sigh.)
