Xserver, etc.

[Martin Koller]

I'm very interested in seeing Linux growing into the desktop area.
Therefore I also try to follow what happens.

Concerning freedesktop.org, it is not clear for me, where's the difference of 
its Xserver and the XFree86 server.
Can you enlighten me, please?

Another suggestion:
If fd.o wants to provide the basis of a desktop environment, I see it a 
critical task to also provide a set of _really good fonts_ !
Whenever I was looking for information how to improve the ugly looking fonts 
on an X installation, I found pages telling me from where and how to 
download/install _Microsoft_ fonts!!

Look at the following extracted from 
http://feenix.burgiss.net/ldp/fdu/conclusions.html

"Further, life will be easier if you install at a minimum the so-called 
Microsoft core web fonts. You don't need zillions of fonts for every day 
usage. A nice handful of the basic ones works wonders. This is probably the 
single most important step "

Are there any plans doing something in this direction?
What about packaging some of the freely available fonts together as a default 
set ?
