What's THE font fixed? Checking out xfontsel, there are 3 fonts named
"fixed" and a few other ones, which are fixed fonts

IMHO, that's not a bad idea to be able to distinguish backticks from single
quotes ...

1) Select a font with xfontsel and then paste your selection to ~/.Xdefaults,
like
rxvt*font: -misc-fixed-medium-*-normal-*-15-140-75-75-c-*-iso8859-1
man rxvt,xterm,X ...
Then your x-terminal-emulator (rxvt, like in the case above or xterm ...)
will start up with the chosen font.
2) Or if you are using a desktop environment like gnome or kde and its
respective terminal-emulator (gnome-terminal, konsole) choose your font
directly in the options menu
Furthermore:
3) Add a new font to X and update the font-path ... and step to 1) or 2)
