--- Comment #2 from Ed Maste <emaste at freebsd.org> ---
> The current implementation is somewhat naive in assuming, the bitmaps will always contain exactly 16 rows. The assumption is not verified resulting in cryptic failure messages trying to parse a 8x13 font, for example.

Note that you can specify the height and width with -h and -w, but I agree that
it's a bit silly to require it to be specified, and we should provide a useful
error message if parsing fails.
