[nzlug] Font server pains

Hi,

(at least some, maybe all) fonts provided by my font server are not available 
on my client.

Example: Nadianne

raimund at calypso:~> fslsfonts -server tcp/192.168.2.252:7100 |grep nadi
-misc-nadianne-bold-i-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-iso10646-1
-misc-nadianne-bold-o-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-iso10646-1
-misc-nadianne-medium-i-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-iso10646-1
-misc-nadianne-medium-o-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-iso10646-1

The server appears to provide this font.

On the client, I've put this line into xorg.conf:

FontPath     "tcp/192.168.2.252:7100"

and restarted the X-Server on the client box. Result: Nadianne is not 
available to any of the programs there (tested with KWord/OpenOffice.org). Is 
there something obvious that I'm doing wrong here?

Any help appreciated...

Cheers,
Raimund
