The Debian Way to do this is to run dpkg-reconfigure fontconfig and changing the "Enable bitmapped fonts by default" setting to Yes. Although I'm currently using debian unstable, which seems to have moved it from fontconfig to fontconfig-config. I suspect that future upgrades of fontconfig will revert that file to whatever setting debconf has (off by default), so it's probably worth running the dpkg-reconfigure anyway.
