selecting a specific font

[Adam Wiggins <hiro dusk org>]

Having just upgraded to RH8 (including the shiny new GNOME), I'm
trying to get back my favorite terminal font, which is misc-fixed.
I can get exactly the font I want by typing the following on the
command line:

xterm -fg grey -bg black -fn -misc-fixed-*-*-*-*-20-*-*-*-*-*-*-*

However, I cannot seem to get gnome-terminal to offer me this font.
There is no "Fixed" choice and monospace is an anti-aliased, serif
font (poor choice for a terminal).

I tried modifying /etc/pango/pangox.aliases by adding:

monospace normal normal normal normal \
  "-misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*,\

and so on down for each monospace definition, but that didn't
seem to change much.  Then I modified /etc/fonts/fonts.conf
and added:

<alias><family>Fixed</family></alias>

and

<alias><family>monospace</family><prefer><family>Fixed</family></prefer></alias>

But neither of those had any affect, either.

Any help much appreciated!
