http://ptspts.blogspot.co.uk/2010/06/how-to-enable-bitmap-fonts-on- ubuntu.html Using the fixedsc font and conf file from that page worked for me. Note "The Fixed (6x13) had to be renamed to FixedSC, because the original 6x13 font has the tag semicondensed, which makes it impossible to select in the GNOME font selection dialog (or in any fontconfig-based app)." - might this be the issue?

"Fixed" shows up, but I get the "normal" typeface instead of the semicondensed that I desire. There's no way to select that particular weight (only bold aso). As I live in the terminal and find it well nigh unusable without 6x13, this is a bit of a dealbreaker.
