Unfortunately that was not true ... I realized too late.
The one (old) selected 6x9 font,
The other (new) selects 6x10 font.
So it is unfortunately not the right, but just another too big y-dim font.
And here starts my complete puzzledness:
$ fc-match Fixed-9
6x9-ISO8859-1.pcf.gz: "Fixed" "Regular"
(first question why iso8859-1, I am running UTF8)
$ fc-match Fixed-10
6x10-ISO8859-1.pcf.gz: "Fixed" "Regular"
searching for 6x9-ISO8859-1.pcf.gz I find it in
/usr/share/fonts/X11/misc/
and in its fonts.dir
6x9-ISO8859-1.pcf.gz -misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--9-90-75-75-c-60-iso8859-1
Ok, calling xfontsel and selecting this font I see something completely
different.
When I use the gnome selector I get the same as xfd -fa Fixed-9.
Argg... how complicated.

I think I give up. I want 6x9, maybe? I cannot even check it. xfontsel
shows me someting different (too small).
i guess I have to get used to Fixed-10, which takes about 10 lines off
my vim terminal ... what a pity.
Best wishes
