Sorry I realize that my question to Michael was confusing
for you.

So I will try to be more explicit.
X doesn't require a X Font Server. It can directly use the font specified
in the Section "Files". If you use a X Font Server, you only specify the
socket corresponding to the font server and configure in another file
the font path.
I can't see real 'pro' to use a X Font Server. But I can see a few cons
(per exemple ressource wasting).

L'experience, c'est une connerie par jour mais jamais la même.
