Thanks for the reply! So for this case, I need to use 96 instead of 72
for the resolution. Where do I input that value? Also, say the user
chooses an arbitrary font family and point size. Is there some check I
can do to see which I should be using? Or should I just always be using
96 on Windows?

Any ideas? Is the problem that its a ".fon" file?
I don't see a problem, because...
5) This eventually calls FT_Set_Char_Size(face =<ptr>,char_width =
0,char_height = 512,horz_resolution = 0,vert_resolution = 0). This
function ends up setting the char_width and char_height to both be
512 and both resolutions to be 72. It then calls FT_Request_Size.

It looks like its failing a check concerning which sizes are
available in the font. I am able, though, to use an 8pt MS Sans
Serif font in, say, WordPad.
you are using the wrong resolution. Windows uses 96dpi by default,
and 8pt at 96dpi is available in `sserife.fon'.
Note that in FreeType the various sizes available in `sserife.fon' are
not handled as bitmap strikes of a single face but have to be accessed
with different font indices.
