It's not.

I've got some libXfont changes on the back burner, but basically what
it'll come down to is that you just ask libXfont to turn on all its
renderers and it'll do it, and then you can customize _that_ at build
time to have either only the builtin FPE, or more.

In addition, freetype has renderers for all font formats we care about,
so we can drop our old buggy crap and make it someone else's problem.
Hooray!  There's some minor detail to be worked out around compressed
fonts but nothing serious.
