That would work if everything related to fonts was an X application, and all of them were connected to the same display. I'd like to solve the simple problem where all applications are running on the same machine; it seems like there should be some OS mechanism that will work for this. > If a font in added (eg: downloaded via a browser) would the > user need to log off for the X server / Xfs to see it? If the X server and Xfs shared the same font configuration mechanism as Xft, then they'd get updated information via the same route. Right now, you can install new fonts, re-run 'mkfontdir' and then 'xset fp rehash' and the X server will see the new fonts.
