Scalable fonts don't seem to be working:
$ xset fp= /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Speedo/,/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1/
$ xset fp rehash
$ xfontsel
X Error of failed request: BadName (named color or font does not exist)
Major opcode of failed request: 45 (X_OpenFont)
Serial number of failed request: 11
Current serial number in output stream: 22
This stuff did work once upon a time (I haven't been messing around with X
fonts for a while - did I miss something?)
PS: This is different to this problem, which was brought up earlier this
month by the good Doctor Zell:
$ xset fp= /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TTF/
xset: bad font path element (#58), possible causes are:
Directory does not exist or has wrong permissions
Directory missing fonts.dir
Incorrect font server address or syntax
