TrueType Fonts with XFS

[David Harel]

Hi James,

I hope you don't mind my attempt to send you a message directly, I was 
wondering why you say that xfs is obsolete and what do you suggest to 
use instead of it. I ask this because I tried to set the font path in 
XFree86 config file to use the fonts directories directly but then, 
everything worked very slowwww.
