I noticed that in the FreeType 2.3.9 formats.txt you mention the lack
of a specification for the X11 PCF font format.   While it's not easy
to find, another document containing a spec is the long out-of-print
book:

THE X WINDOW SYSTEM SERVER: X VERSION 11, RELEASE 5
Elias Israel, Erik Fortune,
Digital Press, 1992
ISBN 1-55558-096-3

Appendix D on pgs. 436-450 documents the format as it stood then,
though I believe this was also created by working backwards from
the X Consortium sources at the time.

Amazon finds a few used copies from their third-party used book
sellers - I've seen them at lower prices occasionally:
