No, you can't use the path to the font. You need to add it to the font path in X and then reference it BY NAME. Set the name when you edit the font, do the xset commands I listed earlier, and try again. If you name your font "myfancyfont", for example, you should be able to refer to it as -*-myfancyfont-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* in xfontsel. If you can't do that, you won't be able to use your font at all outside of the font editor. --Andrew Hills
