Not having to fiddle around with font servers (at least with TT fonts) was one of the coolest things about X4. The downside (as far as I have been able to figure) is that you have restart X to take advantage of any new fonts you might install. Aside from that, yeah, avoid font servers unless you know why you want it (sharing fonts over a network). -rob
