MathML font problem

Hi,

I'm using the current rawhide with Firefox beta2 and am trying to get
the MathML stuff to work with it using the instructions set out at 

http://swissnet.ai.mit.edu/projects/intelligent-book/mathml/#fonts-package

I've followed it to the letter (except used ttmkfdir -o fonts.dir
instead of type1inst as directed on the site). However, when I come to
test the fonts using

xset fp+ /usr/lib/X11/fonts/math-fonts/cmtex-pfb
xset fp+ /usr/lib/X11/fonts/math-fonts/mathematica-pcf
xset fp rehash

All I get is the error

xset: bad font path element (#88), possible causes are:
    Directory does not exist or has the wrong permissions
    Directory missing fonts.dir
    Incorrect font server address or syntax

I've copied the permissions from other fonts directories (755 for the
directory, 644 for the contents). What seems to be the problem is that
ttmkfdir is generating a fonts.dir file with the number 0 in it and
nothing else (which looks somewhat dodgy to me!).

Before I log this into bugzilla, can someone else please verify this
problem or just tell me I'm a pillock and help me work this one out?

TTFN

Paul
