    If there's an easier way
    than what I just described here, please *post it*

I don't think I ever saw your earlier postings.  All you should have to do
is drop your .snf files into whatever directory you want, and run mkfontdir on
that directory.  You *don't* have to (and *shouldn't*) manually edit the
fonts.dir file.  You *don't* have to restart your server; you can simply do
'xset fp rehash' if you dropped them into directories already in your font
path, otherwise you can do 'xset fp+ <dir>'.
