What threats exactly shall this security model protect against? Are there highly font-specific security concerns that can't be addressed by existing more generic X11 access control mechanisms? Developping an entire public key infrastructure separately for something as specialized as a font rendering API sounds like megabloat to me, but perhaps I just misunderstood the suggestion.
