in the first case: most likely the fixed font is in a subdirectory
of /usr/X11R6/lib/fonts. Maybe 75dpi or 100dpi. Look at all the subdirs
(and if this fails, all other places where you have fonts installed) and
scan the contents of fonts.dir file. This file contains the font names,
sizes and other such information for the files in the relevant
directory. Somewhere you should find information about the font "fixed".
Just add that directory to the list (FontPath "/some/directory")

In the other case, X gets all of its fonts from a font server, which is
entirely different piece of software. It is most probably called xfs and
its config file should be somewhere in /etc/X11 -
maybe /etc/X11/xfs/xfs.conf or similar. The file syntax is a little bit
different, but the idea is the same - find the place on your hard disk,
where the fixed font actually is (/usr/lib/X11/fonts/misc/ in teh case
of Debian) and add that directory to the list.

Hope this helps,

L.
