From the man pages, one uses the "=" sign when you are defining the whole
path. For additions to the beginning or end of the list, the "=" is not
used.

^^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^

What's going wrong?

That's what I think is wrong. From man xset
<snip>
[fp=pathlist] [-fp=pathlist] [+fp=pathlist] [fp-pathlist] [fp+pathlist]
<snip>
esp. since it keeps giving you its std. error message. Try
xset

+fp=/share/apps/Mathematica7.0/SystemFiles/Fonts/Type1,/share/apps/Mathematica7.0/SystemFiles/Fonts/BDF
