pre-rendered bitmap font?

Hi. I am looking for a way to make IM use a pre-rendered bitmapped font subset (pcf?) (fixed size, no AA, no paths, slants or rotations) — I hope it would make IM quick as a line printer and my application would stop crashing. Please help.

You could just try the .pcf file as a -font argument. The font renderer is generally quite versatile.
Oh and please let us know what the result was (good or bad).

No result
onvert: unable to read font `./courR24.bdf' @ error/annotate.c/RenderFreetype/1115.

Adobe distribution)
Alternatively, is there a way to use
FreeType to render glyph bitmaps, preferably with (build-in) glyph caching? Currently
FreeType is used only to extract outlines that are rendered as curves.
