Fontconfig on most distros is configured to reject bitmap fonts by default. On Debian, it's /etc/fonts/conf.d/70-no-bitmaps.conf. One way to fix that is enabling all bitmap fonts "dpkg-reconfigure fontconfig-config", which might be too much. Another is to explicitly enable Fixed in /etc/fonts/local.conf: https://github.com/stevenrobertson/rc-files/blob/master/.con...
