THere is, in the system xinitrc, code to execute xset to add user's fonts
in ~/.fonts/fond.dir.

You can move your 100dpi fonts to ~/.fonts and run mkdir or edir the file
in /usr/X11/lib/X11/xinit/xinitrd.d/10-fontdir.sh to include:

[ -e "$HOME"/.fonts/100dpi/font.dir ] && fontpath = "$fontpath,$HOME/.fonts/100dpi"


This is what I've done... I like to keep my NON-Apple distributed X11
additions separate.
