Any bitmap fonts without an ISO Latin-1 or Unicode encoding are currently 
ignored by fontconfig as there is no transcoding support for these fonts 
in FreeType or fontconfig.

MonteCarlo.pcf.gz uses microsoft-cp1252, so you'll never see that listed 
by fontconfig.  The other two Proggy fonts work fine for me in both gnome 
applications (waterfall) and xterm (when forced to use fontconfig via -fa).

Are you using the latest developer release of fontconfig (2.2.98)?
