I got some special fonts, and made a fonts.dir file using mkfontdir, and added the directory to my font path using xset, but my terminal still can use the fonts. Why?
X-terminals load fonts using tftp. For security reasons, we restrict the set of places that tftp is able to access. Users’ home directories are not accessible by tftp. Until there is a way to allow more localized control over font availability, you must request that we add your fonts to the central collection. One way to do this is to submit a work request providing the name of needed fonts, and where they can be obtained.
