[Indic-computing-users] trouble while installing openType font in linux

[<al...@ya...>]

Hi list!
Long time.
I'm trying to install the shideva font which is available in
http://home.t-online.de/home/E.Tremel/Hindi/ .
Here's my current setup:
Redhat 7.1 with indix.
To install indix, I followed the instructions in
http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Indic-Fonts-HOWTO/ , it's been working fine, except
that I had to add the line
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/X11R6/lib
in my .bash_profile so that libIndic.so.1 is picked up when I startx.
Raghu font is installed properly.

What I'm trying to do now:
Install shideva font as an alternative to raghu.
Now I downloaded the ttf file, called LruLruushiDeva.ttf and moved it to
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TrueType.
The size is almost double(285584) of raghu(133708).

Now I cd to /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TrueType
and run 
mkfontdir
which is successful.
Then I run 
xset fp rehash
This is the error:
Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server
Xlib: Invalid MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 key
xset:  unable to open display ":0.0"

This happens when I'm trying to xset withing gnome using a terminal session.
If I'm outside gnome, on the command prompt,
xset fp rehash
gives the error
xset:  unable to open display ""

Googling for this error gave me an indication that it was because 
Load "freetype" 
statement should be present in the XF86Config-4 file,
under the modules section, which is already there(Remember I have already
installed raghu successfully).

Since I didn't touch any of the config files since then, I suspect that there
is some env variable missing or some changes are needed in the path.

Can anyone help?
It will be a big relief.
Regards
Alok
