Adding font path to X server

I need the Cygwin X server to have access to fonts from dosemu; currently I have to add the path manually each time I start. I thought I was following the manual by setting up .startxwinrc as
xset fp+ /usr/share/fonts/dosemu
xterm
but startxwin fails to start (details below). How do I avoid having to set the path manually?
I'd appreciate cc's as my subscription to the list is currently in an odd state, and may not be working.
$ startxwin
Welcome to the XWin X Server
Vendor: The Cygwin/X Project
Release: 1.17.1.0
OS: CYGWIN_NT-6.1 WIHS-1QS3PW1-DT 1.7.35(0.287/5/3) 2015-03-04 12:09 x86_64
OS: Windows 7 Service Pack 1 [Windows NT 6.1 build 7601] (Win64)
Package: version 1.17.1-2 built 2015-02-23
XWin was started with the following command line:
/usr/bin/XWin :0 -multiwindow -auth
/home/rdboylan/.serverauth.5388
......
winMultiWindowXMsgProc - XOpenDisplay () returned and successfully opened the display.
winClipboardProc - XOpenDisplay () returned and successfully opened the display.
xset: bad font path element (#6), possible causes are:
Directory does not exist or has wrong permissions
Directory missing fonts.dir
Incorrect font server address or syntax
/home/rdboylan/.startxwinrc: line 2: $'xterm\r': command not found
xinit: connection to X server lost
The commands in .startwinxrc work fine when typed into an xterm after X launches.
