After a fair bit of reading and experimenting, I am stumped... mostly 
because I don't know what the error message I am getting really 
means.

I've added some TTF fonts I need for a project I am working on.  They 
work fine in all applications except The GIMP... which is where I 
need them.  I did some reading, and the instuctions seem simple... 

  put your TTFs in a convenient location
    (mine are in /usr/share/fonts/truetype)
  ttmkfdir > fonts.dir in your font directory.
  xset fp+ /usr/share/fonts/truetype
  xset fp rehash.

When I do the xset fp+ /usr/share/fonts/truetype part I get an error:
-------------------------------------------
X Error of failed request:  86
  Major opcode of failed request:  51 (X_SetFontPath)
  Serial number of failed request:  8
  Current serial number in output stream:  10
-------------------------------------------

OK, nice, but what does this mean?  

I know what the fp+ is supposed to do... it's supposed to append the 
new font path to current font path.  I've checked and it is not 
appended... yet.  As I said, I'm stumped here... suggestions?
