Q. Italic version?

A. No. The quality is significantly lower, and preserving the font
width requires overlapping characters, which are not handled very well
by X11/Xft. You can try mkitalic from BSD or bdfslant from Debian.

Q. Scalable version?

A. There is a TrueType font, but it requires freetype autohinting and
does not look good in less than 16x32.

Q. Win32 version?

A. Maybe, albeit there are problems with the raster font codepages and
sizes.

Q. How to create an italic version with mkitalic?

A. Ask Google.

Q. How about some new characters?

A. Fine, if they aren't very complex - but be prepared to help. To
make the new characters easily readable, I must have a very good idea
what they look like. The digits and most of the letters and
punctuation characters that I'm familiar with are already included in
the font, so your assistance will most probably be required for the
new ones.

Q. The bold 6x12 font...

A. ...does not exist, there is no space for a good bold in a 6x12
matrix. However, the "normal" font is somewhere between.

Q. The font works with X11/Motif, but not with GNOME/KDE/Xfce.

A. See mkfontdir(1), xorg.conf(5), xfs(1), xlsfonts(1) and
fonts-conf(5).
