I got some inputs for my problem from:
http://moscova.inria.fr/~zappa/software/doc/bdfdriver.txt

In freetype, I had to add the following line to the file
   freetype2/include/freetype/config/ftmodule.h:
        FT_USE_MODULE(bdf_driver_class)

Now fc-cache is able to create the cache files for BDF fonts.
But my GTK application is unable to display any text.

I'm using the fonts available at:

s.zip


Thanks,
