I have been working on the xfstt package to take it over. Until a few
days ago there was only one bug of "Wishlist" priority filed against
it which is now ready to close as soon as I am able to upload
files (ie am finished registering as a debian package maintainer et al)

(ie for each xfstt you run you can only have 1 session of X using
it as a font path) so I decided to see if I could make it accept
multiple connections...
