Otherwise, we could probably just try to implement GetOutlineTextMetrics() somehow for bitmap only fonts if we need such fonts supported? And then there are probably more missing bits so that font can be actually rendered through gdi functions.
The trick to have it working on Windows might be to have empty glyf table, example of that is https://font.gohu.org/gohufont-2.1-otb.tar.gz . They call it OTB, but that's not a thing in itself, it's a regular sfnt container obviously. It's using EBDT, but still has glyf table with no outlines.
