Nifty idea but I have to ask what kind of X11 font support? There is the original old-school X font service, but it seems few actively-developed apps use that now. Most rely on fontconfig which only works with direct use of freetype by the application, or something like that. The two systems may be configured with completely different font paths at any rate.
