To add fonts "live" without having to restart your X server you needed
to run:
xset fp rehash
Then the fonts should have shown up with 'xlsfonts' or one of the GUI
tools like gtkfontsel.
To make the change persist over X restarts, you'll have to manipulate
your font paths in /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 or your xfs font server
configuration file.
