after tinkering a lot of things, i discovered that an dpkg-reconfigure fontconfig-config creates a series of curses based prompts. it then asked me if i want to use bitmapped fonts.
very nice. now i am able to use those crisp classic bitmap fonts on gnome-terminal. wow! :D On 1/13/07, JM Ibanez <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

First, misc-fixed is a "classic", bitmap font; gnome-terminal and what-not won't let you use it. Second, fonts.conf is part of the fontconfig system -- which, AFACT, only Xft (FreeType) uses to choose alternative fonts etc. xlsfonts(1x) lists *all* fonts, both those rendered by Xft and the "classic" bitmap fonts such as misc-fixed. Might as well just use XTerm if you *really* want to use it. :/
