Have a look at

    http://www.freetype.org/pipermail/freetype/2003-April/006023.html

in that mail I suggested a patch to freetype2 appending " Wide" to the
Family name of bitmap fonts which contain only double width characters
like your /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc/12x13ja.pcf.gz above.

This thread ended without a concrete solution on how this problem
should be solved.

But I still think something needs to be done.

Of course you don't have that problem if you don't use bitmap fonts at
all. But many users still want to use bitmap fonts and it should be
possible to select them correctly.
