scalable fonts

Scalable fonts don't seem to be working:

$ xset fp= /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Speedo/,/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1/
$ xset fp rehash
$ xfontsel
X Error of failed request:  BadName (named color or font does not exist)
  Major opcode of failed request:  45 (X_OpenFont)
  Serial number of failed request:  11
  Current serial number in output stream:  22

This stuff did work once upon a time (I haven't been messing around with X 
fonts for a while - did I miss something?)

PS: This is different to this problem, which was brought up earlier this 
month by the good Doctor Zell:
$ xset fp= /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TTF/
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
