Got it. Need to run ttmkfdir BEFORE mkfontdir (doh). I'm going back to bed.
Thanks for the kick in the right direction.

Interestingly, if I do the xset after the window manager is up (as best I can correlate it), it works fine. But, if I do it in startxwin, the font element does not get added to the path, and then XWin dies. I'm going to try the XF86Config route. Thanks for the suggestions! If you have any others, or if there are any tests I can do that might be useful, I'm game. Benn
