I tried freetype-2.3.5 and have the same results. I looked at coure.fon and vgasys.fon and they both appear to be simple bitmap font files. It is strange that freetype can display coure.fon but not vgasys.fon.
If FreeType 2.3.5 doesn't make a difference that might be fontforge whom to blame. Have you tried other fontforge versions?
