Version: 1:20201107~dfsg-4
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
Per spec
(https://fontforge.org/docs/scripting/python/fontforge.html#fontforge.font.bitmapSizes):
font.bitmapSizes
A tuple with an entry for each bitmap strike attached to the
font. Each strike is identified by pixelsize (if the strike is a
grey scale font it will be indicated by (bitmap-depth<<16)|pixelsize.
When setting this value pass in a tuple of the same format. Any
existing strike not specified in the tuple will be removed. Any new
sizes will be created (but not rasterized use font.regenBitmaps()
for that).
But I get this on bullseye (1:20201107~dfsg-4) and sid (1:20220308~dfsg-1):

This makes the (-nox) package useless.
