"fixed" is an alias for "6x13", which is itself an alias for something 
like "-misc-fixes-medium-r-normal--13-*-*-*-*-*-*-*". You can get a
complete list of the fonts available to your X server by running
xlsfonts(1), or you can use the xfontsel(1) utility to select one
interactively. The dropdown boxes in xfontsel map directly to the XLFD
fields:
