Problems with fonts (specifically in DWM)

The font is -Misc-Fixed-Medium-R-Normal--20-200-75-75-C-100-ISO10646-1. This actually works in st (working st is not shown in the image), but other Suckless tools such as dwm (specifically the bar) and dmenu don't recognize this font and go back to the default monospace. This is a problem because the entire font system seems to be broken after copying my Misc Fixed directory to /usr/share/fonts/X11/.

The issue:

Does the font show in fc-list? The path you copied your fonts (.../X11) isn't used by our packaged fonts, xorg-fonts-misc go in .../misc. Perhaps you should force a font scan with fc-cache -f.
