No.  "fixed" can be only a font name, not a fontset name.  Multiple
"fixed" aliasing never makes "fixed" as a fontset.

The `fontname' argument is a pattern or a list of several patterns.
XCreateFontSet() just selects appropriate fonts from the fonts by the
current locale.

"-*-fixed-medium-r-normal--*-140-72-72-c-*-iso8859-*"
"fixed,-etl-fixed-medium-r-normal--14-140-72-72-c-70-iso8859-2"
