No. Xfs shares fonts using the old server-side font format, no matter what format the fonts on disk are. This means that, for example, you can't access Type 1 glyphs that are outside the (limited) encoding vector, and that for large TrueType fonts, a lot of information about coverage and sizes needs to be repeatedly passed back and forth, slowing things down hugely. Fontconfig and Xft, on the other hand, give access to the font information in a much more usable and useful format. They also allow hinting and anti-aliasing that the old server-side font format never allowed for; the way they were implemented means that they need access to the actual font files, rather than the abstraction that Xfs presents. If you want to share those fonts over the network, share access to the disk they are stored on, using NFS or Samba. From there, you should be able to point each machine's fontconfig setup to the shared directory. -- I don't care if it rains or freezes/'Long as I got my Plastic Jesus Riding on the dashboard of my car. _______________________________________________ Fonts mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/fonts
