All the info you need is hiding in the man pages. You just need
to figure out which ones. The following is what I found:
% xset q
<snip>
Font Path:
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi/,/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi/,
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Speedo/,/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1/,
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc/
<snip>
% man xfs
<snip>
FONT SERVER NAMES
One of the following forms can be used to name a font
server that accepts TCP connections:
tcp/hostname:port
tcp/hostname:port/cataloguelist
The hostname specifies the name (or decimal numeric
address) of the machine on which the font server is run
ning. The port is the decimal TCP port on which the font
server is listening for connections. The cataloguelist
specifies a list of catalogue names, with '+' as a separa
tor.
<snip>
% man xset
<snip>
+fp or fp+
This +fp and fp+ options prepend and append ele
ments to the current font path, respectively.
They must be followed by a comma-separated list of
entries.
<snip>
% xset fp+ tcp/fontserver:7100
% xset q
<snip>
Font Path:
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi/,/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi/,
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Speedo/,/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1/,
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc/,tcp/font1:7100
<snip>
%
Of course in the above example you should substitute the name of
the host which runs xfs instead of "fontserver".
You can make this change permanent by putting the following line
in your /etc/X11/XF86Config under the Section "Files".
FontPath "tcp/font1:7100"
This change will not take effect until you restart your x server
which is why the above walk through used xset to change the font
path in your running server.
I hope this helps.
