You may be able to fix that. In links do ESC-S-T and
play with the options. If you find one you like, save
it (ESC-S-S).

No, BL3 only has a limited set of fonts. You could, of
course, install the full fonts package from Slackware.

Don't know. The 6x13 is one of the built-in Xvesa fonts.
I'm not sure what its specifications are. The 9x15 is
schumacher-clean-medium-r. I chose it for BL3 because
it's relatively small and it looks OK.

That aside, are you happy with the size of the font?
