RTFM. From page 74 of the Postcript Language Reference Manual (the red
book):
"If bits/sample is less than 8 and width is not a multiple of the number
of samples per character, there must be extra samples at the end of each
row to fill up the last character. The values of the extra samples are
not used; they are present only in order to align the data so that each
row starts on a character boundary."
In your case, bit/samples (1) is less than 8, and the width (20) isn't a
multiple of the number of samples per character (8 / 1 = 8). Pad each
line to 24 bits.
