Hello world.

I am having MAJOR problems in setting my font path to include
new directories .. namely, if I do the following:

	xset +fp /tmp/

I get the following error message

X Error of failed request:  BadValue (integer parameter out of 
				      range for operation)
  Major opcode of failed request:  51 (X_SetFontPath)
  Minor opcode of failed request:  0
  Resource id in failed request:  0x0
  Serial number of failed request:  4
  Current serial number in output stream:  6

I tried writting my own Xlib program which uses the XSetFontPath call,
but it still gives me the same thing.  I asked around, and not 1 single
soul knows why.  Please help...

BTW, I am running X11R4 on a Sun ... I don't need solution, I just
need you to give me a list of possible reasons.  Right now, I am
totally baffled by this behavior.

Again, my gratitude for the kind soul who can enlighten me.
