strange, i thought i tried adding them individually
and got the same error message. but i tried again,
and it works. however the font itself is not
recognized by urxvt or firefox. do i have to
rerun fc-cache or some other tool?
here is my previous .xsession, before the path change:
xset +fp /usr/local/lib/X11/fonts/Droid
xset +fp /usr/local/lib/X11/fonts/fira
xset +fp /usr/local/lib/X11/fonts/powerline
this worked. also, better for lazy people :)
