I have no explanation for why this option would strip off glyphs from the end of the font though.
Because there can't be more than 256 glyphs. If you start counting at 32 the ß would be numbered 257. The -f option was added so you could draw bitmaps without 32 blank spaces at the beginning.

Makes sense, thanks. It defaulting to 32 makes it a minor nuisance to work with the vanilla fonts though.

people (including myself) had been having trouble with wfon.exe — used to generate "pink box" .bmp images for use with thieffon — under windows 10 (and i guess 11?). the issues had been making for a lot of manual work to get a usable image file out of it. so i took the time to fix them:
- Fixed Antialias option producing ClearType-antialiased output (not suitable for in-game use).
- Fixed glyphs overflowing pink box edges
- Fixed pink box sides not being drawn when Antialias option selected.
- Added wfonchars.py and sample charset .txt files.
i have called this version 1.3 — although only wfon.exe is updated; thieffon.exe and the other .exes contained in this zip are unchanged from 1.2.
