I had this problem for a long time. Then one day I got really upset and =20
figured out which font fontconfig chooses instead of my beloved fixed font.=
 As =20
it turns out it was 12x13ja.pcf. (The ugly font in the bottom) So I manuall=
y =20
removed it from my system. Here how it goes:

cd /usr/lib/X11/fonts/misc
rm 12x13ja.pcf.gz
update-fonts-dir misc
fc-cache

And voila now there is no problem choosing fixed font in gnome. It is not n=
ice =20
solution, I have to do it everytime X window system is updated (or only =20
fonts), yet not one of the solutions provided on this list (there were some=
) =20
provided me with the same results. In my case I did not manage to force =20
fontconfig to choose font:
7x13 or
7x13         -misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--13-120-75-75-c-70-iso8859-13
