You probably didn't run the X core indexers.

the xset and this 09 file only work if you've already indexed the fonts.
The above reminds me about that joke about Unix being user friendly...
"it´s just selective about whom his friends are".
Really, nobody thought about creating a bash script that does all of
the above?. I´m convinced that Linux needs less ´howtos´ with large
blobs of commands to cut-and-paste into a shell, and more ´howtos
turned into scripts, added to the base system´.
Just my $0.02
