It has bold but not oblique afaict. May I also suggest the GNU Intlfonts package? Especially for someone who likes 10x20 (ie, large fonts), this font might be nice. (Of course, you, Bill and Stefan, prefer smaller fonts, and the smaller version of GNU Intlfonts is not that nice. It lacks bold, for a start.) Kai
