The font server (xfs) is used to supply fonts from one machine to
another, to save you the hassle of installing them on every client. You
should only require one font server instance, on a machine which
actually has the fonts installed locally.
Any client machine (with local X server) which requires those fonts can
access them by having the font server added to its font path. The syntax
to add a font server to the font path is:
xset +fp fontserver:tcp/7100
where "fontserver" is the hostname/IP of the font server.
After doing this you should verify it's been added to the font path
using "xset q", and that the fonts are available by "xlsfonts".
Don't forget that if you run xlsfonts whilst logged into a remote system
you will not see the fonts which are installed on that remote system.
You will see the fonts which your local X server has available (the X
server which any X client will display to). xlsfonts is an X client,
just as xterm, xclock etc. and shows information about your local X
server, not the remote system.

questions about xset
I would like to add the mathematica fonts to the xls path on the head node,
but that is where I am still having the problem.
When I execute "xset -q", I see
Font cache:
Server does not have the FontCache Extension
Is this the cause of my inability of adding the mathematica fonts to the
list?

xset is just another X client. It's telling you about your X server on your Mac, not the head node. Font cache isn't the problem.
On the head node you need to have added the font directories to the xfs configuration file, and restarted it. You need to verify that xfs is running, and listening on the correct interface using:
netstat -alnp | grep 7100
should show something like:
tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:7100 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 5384/xfs
meaning xfs is listening on all interfaces, on port 7100.
The firewall on the head node must not be blocking access to port 7100 from
the client.
>From now on I'll refer to the host running the font server as <host>.
On the client, the machine with the X server, check the font server is accessible:
$ xfsinfo -server <host>:7100
name of server: <host>:7100
version number: 2
vendor string: X.Org Foundation
vendor release number: 60802000
maximum request size: 8192 longwords (32768 bytes)
number of catalogues: 1
all
Number of alternate servers: 0
number of extensions: 0
Then, still on the client, you need to add the font server to the font path using:
$ xset +fp tcp/<host>:7100
(ignore the setting in my previous message, the format was incorrect).
and check it's been added:
$ xset q
and finally, test for the existence of the fonts:
$ xlsfonts | grep -i mathematica
This is what I see on my client machine (desktop).
Of course, as I mentioned before, there is no guarantee that Apple have not
"accidentally" broken this in their X server.

This is where it falls apart. ted is the head node
xfsinfo -server ted:7100
xfsinfo: unable to open server "ted:7100"
gc166-mad:~ mad$ xfsinfo -server ted.hetchem.brown.edu:7100
xfsinfo: unable to open server "ted.hetchem.brown.edu:7100"
I modified the iptables to allow tcp for input and forward on eth1; eth1 is
the connection from the head node to the outside.
This did not help.

Hmmm... can you try telneting from your Mac to ted, port 7100?

Trying 128.148.229.2...
telnet: connect to address 128.148.229.2: Connection refused
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host
However, this gives me an idea. The campus may have firewall rules that
are not allowing the connection.
Thanks everyone for your help. I'll let you know my final setup when it all

Oh. Are you trying to get in from outside the campus network?

No. We just have firewalls between departments and servers sometimes.

Oh. Yup. We've got some of those in my division. I think the telnet
response is your answer, and you may have to apply/negotiate this access.

Agreed, not familiar with the Mathematica software, but maybe you could run it over an open port as a temporary workaround?
