Bug#257799: Xprt can't find 'fixed' font, but it's there

[Chip Salzenberg <chip@debian.org>]

Package: xprt
Version: 4.3.0.dfsg.1-5
Severity: important

On startup, xprt immediately exits because it can't find the "fixed"
font.  Nevertheless, the font is there:

  $ xlsfonts |grep '^fixed'
  fixed

And "xterm -fn fixed" works fine w/o error.

Here's the xprt log:
