I am trying to set up a fontpath, but the xset command I used kept giving me 
an error message. I have set up a directory with the fonts I need in fontdir. 
Here is the command I used:

xset +fp ~/fontdir

Here is the error message that xset produced:

X Error of failed request:  BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation)
  Major opcode of failed request:  51 (X_SetFontPath)
  Minor opcode of failed request:  0
  Resource id in failed request:  0x0
  Serial number of failed request:  4
  Current serial number in output stream:  6

Does anyone know what is wrong? Any help will be appreciated.
