md5i <at> maru:/usr/share/fonts/X11$ find . -name fonts.dir
./100dpi/fonts.dir
./75dpi/fonts.dir
./misc/dosemu/fonts.dir
./misc/fonts.dir
./cyrillic/fonts.dir
./Type1/fonts.dir
md5i <at> maru:/usr/share/fonts/X11$ grep monospace `find . -name fonts.dir`
md5i <at> maru:/usr/share/fonts/X11$ 

Plenty of -fixed-, but not a -monospace- to be seen.

What do you get from grepping for monospace in your fonts.dir files?
