Honestly my plan for libXfont is to copy it into its users, or at any 
rate into xserver.  There's a big pile of ugly that falls away if you 
do.  My issue is sequencing it, because there's some other xfont work 
I'd like to see happen first.  Primarily, the handrolled bitmap support 
should die, wholly replaced by freetype.  My issue in doing that before 
was wiring it up to the built-in font support, which shouldn't actually 
be hard, just not something I ever got round to.

The other nice bit of optimisation you can do after that is fold a copy 
of xtrans into the server, and then chop away all the layering around that.
