The example config file /etc/X11/xfs/config has the comment that TCP port listening is switched off by default, but that unix domain connections are still permitted, which seems reasonable.
However, what's the syntax for this? "xset fp+ unix/:-1" and variants don't seem to work: they just report xset: bad font path element (#38), possible causes are: Directory does not exist or has wrong permissions Directory missing fonts.dir Incorrect font server address or syntax and the like. If I include this as one of the paths in XF86Config, I get the report that the server can't contact the font server. Is there something else I need to do? Some configuration in the kernel (I compiled my own) that wouldn't be otherwise obvious (since most stuff seems to work)?
