adding font in Redhat: How to?

["Reuben D. Budiardja" <reubendb innovativethought com>]

Hi all,
Please excuse my ignorant, but I am a bit confused about this. My
understanding is that chkfontpath is somekind of utility from Redhat to
add new fonts in a directory to the X font server. 

So I downloaded a set of new fonts in a directory, created font dir
using mkfontdir. Then I did
$ chkfontpath -a /new/font/dir/
and I re-checked with chkfontpath -l to make sure the directory is
there.

After restarting xfs, I did "xlsfonts |grep -i fontname", where fontname
is one of the font in the /new/font/dir/, and it just not there. 

>From searching, I tried also to add new fonts using 
"xset fp+ /new/font/dir", then "xset fp rehash", and restart xfs. However 
"xlsfonts |grep -i fontname" still can't find the font. 

So how does one add a new font in redhat? what is
chkfontpath really supposed to do?

Please enlighten me. :). Thanks in advance for any reply.
