This is the same problem that I have on the head node:

Although xfs is running on the head node:
xfs 5359 1 0 Oct25 ? 00:00:00 xfs -droppriv -daemon
It was not running on the mac. I started the process on the mac and tried
the xset again.

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.
