Give the man a cigar!
The magic incantation is to prefix the hostname with "tcp/".
Thanks, Pete

============
The instructions for using a font server are referenced in the X and
xfs man pages and the X Window System Admin book that's part
of the TRru64 doc set (you get get the online version here:
http://h30097.www3.hp.com/docs/base_doc/DOCUMENTATION/V51A_HTML/ARH9JBTE/TOC.HTM#SYSDMNCH
)
There, they show the syntax is xset +fp tcp/hostname:<port>
Note the +fp. This appends the font server to the font path instead
of replacing the font path (fp= will replace it entirely). That way
you'll only access the HP box for the fonts that you don't already
have locally.
