So, here's the problem:

  /usr/share/fonts/X11/misc/*pcf.gz
  /usr/share/X11/fonts/misc/fonts.alias

All the fonts are in one directory and the 'aliases' file that does the
mapping to say which face should be used as 'fixed' is in a different
directory.

Now, running 'update-fonts-alias' does the copying of this '.alias' file
from:

  /etc/X11/fonts/X11R7/misc/xfonts-base.alias

(which works), but also prints an error message:

  warning: /usr/lib/X11/fonts/misc does not exist or is not a directory

Something clearly needs to be running 'update-fonts-alias' at the
appropriate time.
