Font names - hint

[dax2]

    Can anyone give a hint how to get font names for 
    Vim - help advices to forget about XFLD and xfontsel. How can
I designate a font like Sony Fixed 17pt alias 12x24, XFLD-name is

    -sony-fixed-*-*-*-*-*-170-*-*-*-*-8859-1


    Font "monospace\ 16" works nice from command-line but it is
not the same. Maybe 12x24 uses subpixels, there are some pretty
advanced serifs there.

    Thank you in advance for any answer:-)
