More precisely, the user-supplied fontpath overrides the compiled-in
default.

A feature. Do you have a suggestion for a more useful behaviour?
MM> Is [xfs] useful by any chance ? At all ?
It is useful in certain situations. For example, some people like to
have a tiny machine on their desk and keep everything that's CPU- or
disk-intensive in their basement. With a font server, you can run the
font rasterisers on a different machine from the one you're sitting
at.
Unless you know what you're doing, you should probably not be running
a font server.
