the xset man page says that:
fp= path,...
The fp= sets the font path to the entries given in the
path argument. The entries are interpreted by the server,
not by the client. Typically they are directory names or
font server names, but the interpretation is server-depen-
dent.
fp default
The default argument causes the font path to be reset to
the server's default.
fp rehash
The rehash argument resets the font path to its current
value, causing the server to reread the font databases in
the current font path. This is generally only used when
adding new fonts to a font directory (after running
mkfontdir to recreate the font database).
so you i think you must modify the font path for the server you are
connecting toor maybe the default font. I never saw this error (Xfree86
requires just to find the default font)
