Sorry to be so long in getting back to you. I'm afraid I can't be much
help.

If the bounding box is too big, then saving to a dfont will call a
routine to crop any extraneous whitespace. I can't imagine what a manual
touch would do that this would not. However...
Doing a "Select All" in the fontview and then
Transform -> Move 0,0 [OK]
should mark every bitmap glyph as touched.

Nor can I. Apple's bitmap font format isn't really documented.
As far as I can tell, the metrics for the glyphs themselves are correct
with an 18pixel height.
