Another thing to consider is that standard XFree can use fonts in
static paths listed in XFree86config, without any server. *If* also
kdrive can do it, one could set one static font for legacy consoles,
and resort to xft2 client side fonts apps otherwise.

The worst thing one can do is not to try, to be aware of what one
wants and not give in to it, to spend years in silent hurt wondering
if something could have materialized -- and never knowing.  --
