Subject: fontforge: Setting fontforge.font.bitmapSizes broken/impossible?

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Source: fontforge
Version: 1:20201107~dfsg-4
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

Per spec (https://fontforge.org/docs/scripting/python/fontforge.html#fontforge.font.bitmapSizes):
  font.bitmapSizes
    A tuple with an entry for each bitmap strike attached to the
    font. Each strike is identified by pixelsize (if the strike is a
    grey scale font it will be indicated by (bitmap-depth<<16)|pixelsize.

    When setting this value pass in a tuple of the same format. Any
    existing strike not specified in the tuple will be removed. Any new
    sizes will be created (but not rasterized  use font.regenBitmaps()
    for that).

But I get this on bullseye (1:20201107~dfsg-4) and sid (1:20220308~dfsg-1):

This makes the (-nox) package useless.
