ah, you do it the encyclopedic way (i tried the same), maybe expecting that all 
directions are working. In fact the h/vpacker is currently only geared for a 
small subset, only for the directions that are demanded by users. I tried to 
get some consistency into the backend for all 32 output directions, but i don't 
know how far they make sense, and i didn't touch the packers (remaining 
consistent with aleph --- which also behaves funny for many of the directions). 
As it seems there is no user nor test font for most cases, it's also unclear 
how the packers should behave, uncharted territory.

I'll check more from home...
