You now need to tell X to use those fonts that are now available.  There
are at least 2 ways to do this.  One uses the xset command:
xset +fp "unix:7101"
(I may be a bit off on the syntax; that's not the method I use)

You could also add another FontPath line to your /etc/X11/XF86Config file.
Find the section of the file that has a bunch of other FontPath lines, and
add this:
    FontPath   "unix/:7101"
