It should just create it without those fonts (you can then add manually
them t othe files.dir; don't forget to have in the first line
the number of following ones)

You don't even need to have X11 running to send a SIGUSR1 signal to
the font server; what did yo utyped exactly ?
'killall -USR1 xfs' will do the task (unless either xfs don't run or it
does on another name).

Access to the X server is needed to do 'xset fp rehash' of course.
"conection refused by xserver" means you don't have access to the
X server, maybe you did 'su' and don't set xautority ?
Anyway, that doens't matter, just open an xterm as your normal user
and type 'xset fp rehash' on it.

That is nonsense. 
rebooting is to upgrade the kernel only.
