Did you try:

$ aterm -fn "-microsoft-comic sans ms-medium-r-normal-*-0-0-0-0-*-0-*-1"

.. works here ..

Don't know why xfontsel doesn't find them.

Aren't they listed when you issue a:

$ xlsfonts | grep comic

How did you install them? 

Did you install the msttcorefonts package?

I don't remember having to do anything else to have X recognize them.

Thanks
