Yep. xfs is your friend.
emerge xfs
rc-update add xfs default
Add "FontPath "unix/:7100" " to the "Files" section of your
XFconfig file.
Add font dirs to /etc/X11/fs/config
then reboot, or:
/etc/init.d/xfs start
restart X
All your loverly fonts without the delay every time you start X or your
PC.
Cheers
