desmond@ophelia.fdi.net % xset fp+ /usr/local/AbiSuite/fonts
xset: bad font path element (#37), possible causes are:
Directory does not exist or has wrong permissions
Directory missing fonts.dir
Incorrect font server address or syntax
Even more confused ... :-(
Would it perhaps be better if I hosed the standard installation of
