First of all, don't you mean xfs, not xfd?Please let me have your comments on my idea that aims to build win32 based x font server which is capable of exporting fonts installed on a Windows machine. By using this server, cygwin/xfree users do not need to install X-specific fonts aside from Windows fonts. This server is expected to behave as xfd. So any X server will benefit from this server. Since font installation is done in Windows side, almost no font configuration effort is required in X side. I'd like to have your opinion about this. I guess this kind of idea has already poped up in many peoples' mind. There might be a similar project or software proposed by someone else before... Any comment?Thanks, Taishin
Secondly, how is this different from running the stock xfs that's in the XFree86 distro using free-type to support the Windows fonts?
