The .pcf files in the system font directories are not gzipped
to increase performance and to save space on the install media
(which is bzip2'ed, and bzip2'ed uncompressed files are smaller
than bzip2'ed gzip files), but the system font libraries can
handle .gz fonts.
Did /usr/local/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/local/fonts.dir get created?
Does the first line have the number of fonts followed by one
line per font? If not, try mkfontdir /usr/local/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/local
