Research direction
Start by locating MakeSpriteFont and its GDI+ font-capture path, then review how GetGlyphOutline could be used for raster fonts. Done means MakeSpriteFont can capture Terminal or Fixedsys fonts as well as TrueType fonts.
Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
Description
The MakeSpriteFont uses GDI+ to capture the font data which only supports TrueType fonts.
To capture 'raster fonts' (aka Terminal or Fixedsys), you need to use GetGlyphOutline directly.
