I don't understand your comment "I can't get the programs I compile in
XView to properly read from the fonts directory".  Do you mean when you
attempt to start-up your XView program it complains ("XView warning:...")
that it cannot find your fonts?  If this is the case, then you'll need
to make sure that the fonts are really in your directory 
/usr/local/lib/X11/fontsFonts and that this directory is in your font path.
Hope this helps.

Let me know if this isn't the problem.
