No need. Fonts could be specified via FontPath in the XF86Config file, so as not
to solely depend on the font server (xfs in this case). I believe someone has
suggested this idea as a change in default configuration recommended.
E.g.
Section "Files"
[...]
FontPath "unix/:7100"
FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc"
EndSection
