BDF 2.1 fonts not loading in Xorg 1.20

We have an enterprise system that’s using BDF fonts in version 2.1 format.  Xorg 1.17.x in RHEL 7.2 would load the fonts fine, but Xorg 1.20.x in RHEL 7.6 fails to load the fonts.  There are no errors in the Xorg output (we increased the verbosity) and nothing in the system logs.  Is this a known issue with Xorg 1.20.x?

The fonts do work when converted to PCF, but this is a legacy system and we would like to understand what changed.

I appreciate the help,
Aaron Caraveo
