	xset fp= tcp/font.server.host:7100,built-ins

(adjust your hostname and port number to suit)

This will be saved in the config file like this:

	pref-font-path = {
		{ "tcp/font.server.host:7100" }
		{ "built-ins" }
	}

It should be pretty obvious how to add it via the setup client too, at
least once you've figured out how to use NCD's rather odd little GUI.
(it wasn't intuitive to me.  I learned a very long time ago and I still
have to re-learn every time I use the blasted thing, which isn't very
often, that's for sure!)

You can probably also set it by telneting to at least one of port 5997,
5979, 5997, or 5977.  The passwords and access lists may be blank for
the config daemons in the terminal.  I don't know the exact syntax for
entering those multi-line values like that though....

(BTW, you want to firewall those ports if you run NCD terminals!  ;-)
