When trying with xset fp+ I get:

02:16 PM [502]> /usr/X11R6/bin/xset fp+ /usr/local/share/fonts
/usr/X11R6/bin/xset:  bad font path element (#58), possible causes are:
    Directory does not exist or has wrong permissions
    Directory missing fonts.dir
    Incorrect font server address or syntax

02:17 PM [503]> /usr/X11R6/bin/xset fp+ /dev/c/WINNT/Fonts
/usr/X11R6/bin/xset:  bad font path element (#58), possible causes are:
    Directory does not exist or has wrong permissions
    Directory missing fonts.dir
    Incorrect font server address or syntax
vzell@summer /tmp
02:17 PM [504]> 


Permissions seem to be OK and fonts.dir is present.
