Basically Redhat's config of using a font server itself is redundant ...
it makes no sense to run a font server on a desktop considering the newer
versions of X can handle true type fonts(2 years ago it couldn't and a
font server was a necessity)... and I don't think antialiasing works with
fonts served by a font server.

And I don't think there are many organisations that will be running a font
server to serve multiple machines... those people will be clued enough to
install it by themselves... so just including the rpm on the distro would
have been sufficient.

And I suppose they still do the mistake of putting 75dpi fonts ahead of
100dpi ones ... so all fonts look really tiny.

(I don't think redhat has worked on the fontserver config in ages)
