I don't think so.

Winfont(.FON) has no scalable glyphs.  But TTF does not.

Set_Pixel_Sizes is useful for following types.
1. outlines with all sbits(a.k.a. embedded bitmaps).
2. sbits without outlines.

But it is confused if two API(Set_Pixel and Set_Point) is
available for following cases.
3. outlines without sbits.
4. outlines with a few sbits. (e.g. Monotype Courier New)
5. outlines with many (but not all) sbits. (e.g. MS mincho)

Any good solutions?
