On my system, the combination of pxlsz and ptSx you have for that font
(misc-fixed) precludes the use of the italic or bold faces...

I use DejaVu Sans Mono as my font in Emacs.  Try

  (set-face-attribute 'default nil :font "DejaVu Sans Mono-18")

to see if you get better behaviour and, if so, then play around to look
for a font that pleases you.
