Is fontconfig able to find Fixed family fonts on your system? Try these commands to check:
$ fc-match Fixed
$ fc-list | grep -i fixed

Debian packages website lists `xfonts-base` package which contains
this font:
https://packages.debian.org/stable/all/xfonts-base/filelist. Not sure
about Debian, but usually (NixOS, Arch) such package comes along with
X server by default.
That package is already installed here, but Emacs still says it can't
find it.
Fixed fonts unavailability may be explained by bitmap fonts being disabled
system-wide (what I've never encountered):
http://marklodato.github.io/2014/02/23/fixed-fonts.html .
Ah, perhaps that's it? Then perhaps somebody that has as system where
they're not disabled has to try to debug this instead.
Anybody?
