using TTF fonts in X

[Eitan Adler]

I have a folder with a bunch of TTF fonts.
when I run mkfontdir the fonts.dir file is just a "0"
and when I run xset +fp . I get
% xset +fp .
xset:  bad font path element (#23), possible causes are:
    Directory does not exist or has wrong permissions
    Directory missing fonts.dir
    Incorrect font server address or syntax
% cat fonts.dir
0
% ls -laod . fonts.dir
drwxr-xr-x  2 eitan  eitan  - 14336 May 23 18:54:55 2010 ./
-rw-r--r--  1 eitan  eitan  -     2 May 23 18:55:32 2010 fonts.dir
