if your fonts (e.g., cmr10.85.snf.Z) live in directory /some/path/fonts, then
say:

	% cd /some/path/fonts
	% mkfontdir			[ only do this once ]
	% xset +fp /some/path/fonts
	% xset fp rehash
	% xlsfonts | grep cmr10

If you don't get a list of cmr10 fonts with more numbers after them,
make certain you build the font directory file. Sadly, you need to do
this each time you start your X server, unless you put the fonts in a
``default'' location or change the X startup script to indicate the
new font directory. A future change to xtex will automatically install
the path, but that's not done yet.
