My favourite approach is to leave the bitmapped fonts disabled, but link
~/.fonts/fixed to /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc and add the following to
my ~/.fonts.conf:

<selectfont>
  <acceptfont>
    <pattern>
      <patelt name="family"><string>Fixed</string></patelt>
    </pattern>
  </acceptfont>
</selectfont>

This and a terminal set to 'Fixed 9' is all I seem to need these days.

Cheers,
