Finally got to restart X yesterday (been having to suspend only till
now). Does not seem to help.

$ fc-list|egrep -i zen
/home/justa/.fonts/FixedZen-10-ISO10646.pcf.gz: Zen:style=Regular

And I am running:
uxterm -fn FixedZen

with many variations on font name, eg FixedZen-10, Zen, etc.

A key change to the font is a dot in the zero.

I'm not sure if this is relevant:
$ cat ~/.fonts.conf
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM "fonts.dtd">
<fontconfig>
  <include ignore_missing="yes">/var/lib/defoma/fontconfig.d/fonts.conf</include>
<!-- Uncomment below to enable bitmapped fonts -->
  <dir>/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts</dir>
  <match target="font">
    <test qual="all" name="rgba">
      <const>unknown</const>
    </test>
    <edit name="rgba" mode="assign"><const>rgb</const></edit>
  </match>
<!-- Uncomment below to enable the freetype autohinter module -->
  <match target="font">
    <edit name="autohint" mode="assign">
      <bool>true</bool>
    </edit>
  </match>
</fontconfig>
