Done:

(Not very beautiful, it's my first wiki page)

I am a little bit unsure about how to submit this. I checked out the
corresponding CVS module and copied some of the BDF files there. But I
cannot do 'cvs add $someflie' because I do not have write access to the
repository. How am I supposed to create a patch?

I would like to submit at least fixed-12 and fixed-12-bold (preferably
in iso-8859-1). I am currently using the latter one. It is very
beautiful, readable and gives nine lines of text in the WPS + status
bar.
