[FreeType 2.5.3 is almost three years old.  The current release is
 version 2.9.]

Using the `ftview' demo program, I can easily load your font:

  ftview 33 charR24.pcf.gz

As you can see the `24' in the font name refers to the point size, not
the pixel size (which FreeType computes as 33ppem).

To make that work you need a FreeType library that has both activated
PCF and gzip support.
