Removing CF_FIXEDPITCHONLY indeed allows the font to show (and a whole
pile of non fixed-pitch friends). Apparently the font version I
downloaded (liberation-fonts-ttf-1.06.0.20100721) doesn't mark itself as
fixed-pitch?
When I select liberation mono, ChooseFont populates the LOGFONT with
lfPitchAndFamily=0x32. MSDN says:

Sure enough, grep-find over /usr/include/w32api shows:

I guess somebody needs to file a bug with fedorahosted.org, but I didn't
see an obvious way to request an account with them. Do you have one by
chance?
