Thanks.

Hello.
I not detected to "Bad image file","not a bitmap" strings by easy
grep(grep -rl) in fontforge source.
I think hint to help other developers.
1. please your instruction.
(ex. Open FontForge, Create New Font, Menu select "File > Import"
check "As Background" Push button "Import")
2. example "image file".
It uploading to free uploader or other.

It does that no matter what image format I try,

Your kind of bitmap file format (ex. "32bit color RGB
1024x512pixel")(ex. $file ./imagefile.bmp output )
Do you mean check the not ".bmp" file format (".jpg" ".png")?
3. your fontforge version / environment
Show from $ fontforge --version output or "Help > About" menu.
environment (ex. Ubuntu 15.10 amd64 / Windows 7 x64 Home Premium)
Thanks.

When I try to import a set of images as an image template, I just get
the error "Bad image file: not a bitmap:" and then the filename. It
does that no matter what image format I try, including actual bmp
files. The files import just fine if I select them one at a time as
"image", though. What am I doing wrong? I tried Googling the error
but just got the same question on this mailing list with no replies.
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks!

I don't know how to check if my image is monochrome. I've tried everything I
can think of. What is that code checking for?
