Where can I get a German user manual for the Simulator or the HP-15C Limited Edition?
The manual for the HP-15C Limited Edition is only available in English. The LE is functionally identical to the original HP-15C from the 1980s and the Simulator. Therefore the German manual of the original HP-15C also applies to the LE and the Simulator. This manual is available on the CD/DVDs from HP Calculator Museum, specifically on CD 13. This is the only source I know.

I installed the HP-15C font but the simulator keeps complaining that the font isn't installed.
This is, in my own experience, a problem specific to the KDE desktop environment. So far the problem has not been reported from other desktop environments.
The KDE font installer doesn't always update the font system of the underlying X-Windows system. If this happens, newly installed fonts are available for native KDE (QT) applications but not for pure X11 applications. You have to install the font manually.
The steps to install a font manually depend on the Linux distribution you use. On many systems, namely Debian based distributions, it is sufficient to copy the font to the directory
~/.fonts
. If this doesn't solve the problem, you can use the information found here:

Why do some keys show a small square instead of the correct label?
Please see the Font Settings.
-
Do you plan to port the simulator to other operating systems like Android or iOS?
For the time being, I do not have plans to port it to other platforms.
