trying to get fonts working in X11

[Brett Wiggins]

Hello,

I am having issues installing and getting fonts to work in X. I have
consulted the handbook page (
https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/x-fonts.html)
and have installed a few fonts. The fonts I have installed are on my system
here;

/usr/local/share/fonts

I have used xset to try and set fonts for example roboto-fonts-ttf;

xset fp+ /usr/local/share/fonts/roboto-fonts-ttf
xset fp rehash

I have done so with a few of the fonts. Here is a list of fonts installed
on my system;

total 216

drwxrwxrwx  2 root  wheel  79360 Nov 26 17:18 75dpi

drwxrwxrwx  2 root  wheel  15360 Nov 26 17:18 misc
drwxrwxrwx  2 root  wheel   1024 Nov 29 17:14 roboto-fonts-ttf
drwxrwxrwx  2 root  wheel   4096 Nov 28 19:09 urwfonts
drwxrwxrwx  2 root  wheel   1024 Nov 26 17:17 util

Is the ownership of the directories or files a problem? I changed all of
the directories to 777 but that doesn't seem to do anything. I have run
xset on every directory, but in my dekstop applications such as firefox,
the text is still hard to read. Below is info regarding my system. Any help
would be appreciated.
