Okay, I find I need to turn off auto hinting for the embedded
bitmaps to show. Enabling/disabling anti-aliasing does not
affect this either way.

Should apps in general be setting ftc_image_flag_unhinted?

I guess I assumed that auto hinting is a good thing but at
it is my current opinion that the embedded bitmaps are far
more important.

For other reasons I have already had to open all the fonts,
catalog their properties, and store this in a summary file.
Adding the list of embedded sizes to the summary was not 
that hard.

How will simpler apps use auto hinting and embedded bitmaps?

Possibly they could open the face, find if it has an
embedded bitmap, and then if there is an embedded bitmap of 
the right size, close the face and reopen it with the
appropriate flags.
