What version are you using? Are you using Windows? Or Linux? I suspect
you're using the older ppmtoTbmp parser (which was deprecated long ago). You
may want to check out a helpful question on the FAQ:
http://plucker.gnu-designs.com/index.pl/faq#3.2
Did you also change the bit-depth in the actual application itself?
You can find that under the Preferences dialog. See if it's set to 4bpp, or
2bpp. When you build, I assume you're using --bpp=4, yes?

No. It's a hack, expect oddities.
If it causes problems, turn it off for Plucker. Alternately, you could
build Plucker itself with that font embedded into it if you wanted, for your
version.

HTTP doesn't do this, how can Plucker?

Sounds like you want to use Sitescooper's caching, and write out
Plucker format documents.
Hope that helps.
