I need these bitmap fonts for terminals (they render much better than
outline ones at small sizes). And I needed to add support for bitmap
fonts in fontconfig, as gnome-terminal can use them only if they are
enabled (I prefer xterm, but xterm's selection mechanism is incompatible
with Firefox -- Debian bugs 276090 and 277832, Mozilla bug 63419).

The problem is that fontconfig shouldn't use them in Firefox as other
better fonts can be used (e.g. Bitstream Vera Sans).

Note: In gnome-terminal, I explicitly set the font to "fixed", so there
shouldn't be a clash.
