I had this problem too, Our local guru looked at the makefile
for compiling the NCD fonts, and it turns out our NCD (Mips) 
version compiles (bdftosnf) the .bdf file with -p4 option.  So after
recompiling the .bdf file in question with this option, The NCD was 
able to read the .snf file  and download it. Hope this helps.
