Bug#539108: bdf2psf does not handle empty bitmaps



tags 539108 -moreinfo +confirmed
thank you

Thank you for your detailed report.  I was able to reproduce the bug.  I 
don't know why during my previous test bdf2psf worked, maybe I had some 
experimental development version installed.

This is normal because bdf2psf fills the unused positions in the font 
with random noise (this is better than to keep these positions empty 
because it helps to detect some bugs).
