I was hoping that would be the case!

Unfortunately, the bitmap font manipulation tools I'm using (monobit¹ and BitsNPicas²) do not support putting more than one strike into an OpenType wrapper. If there's some other tool that can do that assembly, I'd like to hear about it.

I have not tried it, but what I read from Fontforge's documentation sounds a lot like it could do it.

Also Glyphs 3 seems to support it. "Each glyph contains a single image file. However, images can be provided for different pixel sizes.". It's been years since I last worked with Glyphs and back then it was more of a creation tool than an editor. I don't know if that has changed.
