Many thanks for your fast response - I was not able to identify a 
section which describes "bitmapped fonts" - therefore I did a 
"dpkg-reconfigure fontconfig". The Installation-dialog asks me about
activateing bitmapped-fonts and I answered this positively.

After that I restarted my xserver - but the problem still occures.

"The "fixed width"-fonts are looking ugly blurred, and are closly to be
unreadable.If I try to change to another "fixed width" font in the kontrolcenter
I only have one font named "fixed" in my font-selection."

My Configuration currently looks like this:
--
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM "fonts.dtd">
<fontconfig>
  <include ignore_missing="yes">/var/lib/defoma/fontconfig.d/fonts.conf</include>
  <dir>/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts</dir>
<!-- Uncomment below to enable subpixel rendering -->
<!--
  <match target="font">
    <test qual="all" name="rgba">
      <const>unknown</const>
    </test>
    <edit name="rgba" mode="assign"><const>rgb</const></edit>
  </match>
-->
  <match target="font">
    <edit name="autohint" mode="assign">
      <bool>true</bool>
    </edit>
  </match>
</fontconfig>
