As a side note, any scalable fixed width font can be scaled by the
xserver to fit the same metrics as that XLFD specifies.

Eg, Luxi Mono specified as:

   -b&h-Luxi Mono-medium-r-normal--[9.75 0 0 13]-0-75-75-m-0-iso8859-1

although I have to use:

   -b&h-Luxi Mono-medium-r-normal--[9.75 0 0 11]-0-75-75-m-0-iso8859-1

to get an xterm exaclty the same pixel size as using fixed.  Luxi has
an ascent/descent of 13/3 rather than 11/2 at 13 pts when rendered w/
(the version of) Juliusz' ft2 backend (I have installed).
