The vast majority of users don't need a font server, as they're not
running X applications that use the old font apis to reference fonts
stored on a machine different from the X server.
The new font apis (libXft) don't use font servers or server-side fonts,
so xfs has no use to applications that use them (as gtk, Qt, and most
other modern toolkits do).
