The X server has to check the validity of the font path. The font
might not even exist in the same directory on the client. xset fp+
doesn't check either, it just lets the X server do the checking.

Applications that have already opened their fonts should continue to
run fine. Anything that tries to open the fonts in the directory in
question will fail. But this is the same as it works when you
manipulate the fontpath with xset.
