but doesn't it also require the file fonts.dir in your added fonts

    Not from what I see.  The Font Server checks the file /etc/X11/fs/config

    Or you can modify /etc/X11/XF86Config, and add your custom font path after
    the unix/:7100 line.
    
    Both should tell the X Server where to find your custom font path.
