I had the same problem.  The problem is in you font definition and how
you put it in the font files.  The font definition is:

 -Misc-3270-Medium-R-Normal--14-140-75-75-C-90--1

(from the 3270.bdf file)

In you Imakefile make sure:

FONTINSTDIR = $(FONTDIR)/misc

In the /misc directory the entry for font.alias is:

3270          -misc-3270-medium-r-normal--14-140-75-75-c-90--1

An in /misc  directory the entry for fonts.dir is:

3270.pcf -misc-3270-medium-r-normal--14-140-75-75-c-90--1

(make sure you add one to the font counter at the top of the file)


do xmkmf
   make Makefiles
   make

   xset fp rehash

   and you should be set to go!!!!  (it took me a while since I'm an
   x-novice!)

   If you want to put the font in its own directory, xset +fp [Path]
   will work.


GOOD LUCK!!
