That's a common misconception about xfs. Xfs doesn't serve font files, it serves pre-rendered font "bitmaps" that are only used internally by the X server. In a nutshell, if you're using modern apps with a modern font rendering library (cairo, pango, libXft, Qt 4, etc), server-side font rendering - and thus xfs - will never be used. Please see this thread [1] in Gentoo's bugzilla for more info, I'm sure your questions have all been asked there.
