               X11R6  allows the X server to request fonts from a
               font server.  A font server is specified by  plac-
               ing   a  "<trans>/<hostname>:<port_number>"  entry
               into the  fontpath.   For  example,  the  fontpath
               "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc/,tcp/zok:7100"
               tells the X server to first try to locate the font
               in           the          local          directory
               /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc.   If  that   fails,
               then request the font from the font server running
               on machine zok listening for  connections  on  TCP
               port number 7100.
