Please report your observations if you do this.  If SUN12x22 works
then most likely there are no problems with size 24x12.

On my computer if I use matroxfb then all font sizes work.  However if
I use vga16fb instead of matroxfb then, all fonts load with no error
messages but only with sizes 14, 16 and 32x16 the display is correct.
