The font fixed is listed on my machine when using xlsfonts.
Closer examination showed it is mentioned in
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc/fonts.alias
fixed -misc-fixed-medium-r-semicondensed--13-120-75-75-c-60-iso8859-1
The font fixed refers to -misc-....-1
is refered to in
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc/fonts.dir
6x13-ISO8859-1.pcf.gz -misc-fixed-medium-r-semicondensed--13-120-75-75-c-60-iso8859-1
which identifies it as being in
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc/6x13-ISO8859-1.pcf.gz
$ rpm -qf /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc/fonts.alias
fonts-xorg-base-6.8.2-1
You might try reinstalling that package.
You can do the same checks I did. The key files are:
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc/fonts.alias
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc/fonts.dir
