Bug#506338: gnome-terminal: Fixed-10 font is borken

[althaser]

I found this link ->
http://ubuntu.5.x6.nabble.com/how-to-have-fixed-font-for-gnome-terminal-td5012352.html

as Rashkae-2 says on the third post:

"Fixed was/is a "bitmaped" font.  By default, Ubuntu disables those in
favor of Scalable fonts.  (By their very nature, bitmapped fonts do not
adjust to modern high resolution displays well.)

Never let that stop you from enabling your preference, however :)

If you look in the /etc/fonts/conf.d/ directory, there should be
something like 70-no-bitmaps.conf.  Simply delete that file, log out/in,
and you should be able to add Fixed font to your terminals. "
