FreeBSD 4.6 with X11 v4.  Trying to get some easily readable fonts on
X11,  particularly on netscape.  I installed the urwfonts from x11-fonts
ports, but got the     unable to open display ""   when I ran xset, so I
edited /etc/X11/XF86Config to include an entry for .../fonts/URW.  Still
no apparent difference in appearance, but I noticed that startx pumps
out messages like     startx:  could not init font path element
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/URW.   The same messages appear regarding
../fonts/Type1  and ../fonts/Speedo.

X11 has no problem with any other fonts listed in  /etc/X11/XF86Config.
All fonts listed in the config file have entries in
/usr/X11R6/lib/x11/fonts,  but apparently URW, Type1 and Speedo are
gloogified.

Haven't figured out xdm yet, so I installed a "wrapper" and use startx.

What's happening to my system?
