how to install type1 font on hpux 11.11

Hi all,
I should install fonts for oracle reports server

so I tried following:
copied the fonts to the directory /usr/lib/X11/fonts/typ1.st/typefaces/,
cd into it and run stmkdirs .
it updated the font.dir
"IDAutomationSC128M.pfa -unknown-idautomationsc128m-normal-r-normal-idautomationsc128m 0-0-0-0-0-p-0-unknown-fontspecific
IDAutomationSOCRb.pfa -unknown-idautomationsocrb-normal-r-normal-idautomationsocrb 0-0-0-0-0-p-0-unknown-fontspecific
"

these are the new fonts.what I wonder is why the fonts are "unknown"

I used xset +fp to add the fontpath .Additionally I added it in /etc/X11/fs/config.
But "xset q" doesn't show me my font path ?!

Then I refreshed: xset fp rehash

checked it using xlsfonts | grep -i idautomation

But how can I be sure that the fonts works properly. Can I test it in another way?

I would be happy if someone could help me.
Thanks in advance.

export DISPLAY to a running X server and launch
xload -fn

It will open an xload window and hostname will be displayed using your new font.
