Indeed. The X server does things something like:

        fpe->name = malloc()
        strncpy(fpe->name, fp, len)
        fp->name[len] = '\0';

With 'name' const, this doesn't just generate a warning, it generates an
error...

Obviously we'll need to wait for the X server fixes to land before
pushing the fontsproto changes; one option would be to add patches to
the X server for 1.15 that eliminate the errors?
