Ok, I think I've found a solution..
I've added the following file:
$ cat /etc/fonts/conf.d/69-zzz_fixedfonts.conf
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM "fonts.dtd">
<fontconfig>
<!-- Enabled Fixed bitmap fonts -->
<selectfont>
<acceptfont>
<pattern>
<patelt name="family"><string>Fixed</string></patelt>
</pattern>
</acceptfont>
</selectfont>
</fontconfig>
and disabled bitmapped fonts in dpkg-reconfigure fontconfig-config
I assumed that I need to ensure my config was processed prior to
70-no-bitmaps.conf hence why I made it 69-zzz-
Now I have a fixed font gnome-terminal and my firefox fonts and printing
to pdf/printer all seem much much happier!
I'm guessing this can be closed now since I think I've solved it myself. What
might be nice is if the font config package moved 70-no-bitmaps.conf and
70-yes-bitmaps.conf to 75 giving the administrator the option to include some
fixed fonts prior to the overriding yes/no?
I also suppose I should really use local.conf too!
Sorry to trouble everyone!
