I'm not aware of any scalable versions of the misc-fixed fonts;
I think they were deliberately designed as a family of bitmaps.
(You can of course use the ":scaled" suffix on your fontpath,
and scale these fonts, but I expect that they would look bad).
A scalable version would probably replace the whole family
-misc-fixed-medium-r-semicondensed--*-*-*-*-c-*-iso8859-1
(or a wider character set).

Note that that name describes a 13pixel, 12point, 75dpi
fixed-width font with an average width of 60 (I think that means 
6.0points). If you a looking for a scalable font, the name would
probably not be that tightly specified (although you might request
that much detail when you ask for it to be drawn).
