This link has a collection of fonts you can use, and also a dos editor to create fonts.

Fonts are 1 byte per row, each bit indicates a pixel, i think it starts at the least significant bit for the left most of the row.
You can have various heights, and the height is determined by the size of the file. However, talisman only supports 8x16. Synchronet source repository has another collection (same format), again stick to the f16 fonts (which are 8x16)

* font loading at login, so you can define all your custom fonts
what format has a 8x16 font to be in? I saw you have a .f16 file at your documentation website.
where can one find working free fonts for download?
