But how do I tell xfd to display a font using a fontconfig sytle name?

xfd -fn "Fixed 10"  gives me:

Warning: Cannot convert string "Fixed 10" to type FontStruct
xfd:  no font to display

Doing a lsof doesn't show any font files (I am using xfs - maybe that is
why).

If I do a xlsfonts, I only see the old style font names and one called
'fixed', probably from the font alias files.

'xfd -fn fixed' displays the font I want to use for 'Fixed 10'.  It is 
-Misc-Fixed-Medium-R-SemiCondensed--13-120-75-75-C-60-ISO8859-1

Any other tips?
