Indeed. It seemed "intuitive", and certainly is a lot more brief than
the alternative (see below).

This worked. I ended up using the following in my fonts.conf:
<fontconfig>
<match target=3D"pattern">
<test qual=3D"any" name=3D"family">
<string>Fixed</string>
</test>
<edit name=3D"family" mode=3D"assign"><string>Fixed</string></edit>
<edit name=3D"style" mode=3D"assign"><string>Regular</string></edit>
<edit name=3D"slant" mode=3D"assign"><int>0</int></edit>
<edit name=3D"weight" mode=3D"assign"><int>100</int></edit>
<edit name=3D"width" mode=3D"assign"><double>8.7</double></edit>
<edit name=3D"pixelsize" mode=3D"assign"><double>13</double></edit>
<edit name=3D"spacing" mode=3D"assign"><int>100</int></edit>
</match>
</fontconfig>
It certainly is possible that I could have specified fewer edits and
still got the font I wanted, but I did not test (by trial and error)
this out.
So, this works, but it "butchers" the use of the the "Fixed" font for
any other applications. Is there a way to use some other value than
"Fixed" such that it is listed as an available font in gnome-terminal's
setup dialog (actually the gnome/gtk font dialog)?
Ideally I want to define a brand new font name. Perhaps something like
"My Terminal Font", so that "Fixed" remains unaltered but I get a new
font in the standard gnome font dialog that I can use in gnome-terminal.
Any way to do it with just fonts.conf?
