minus-square@neidu2@feddit.nllinkfedilink6•1 year agoI remember messing around with font servers 25 years ago in XFree86. Are font servers still a thing with X11?
minus-square@rufus@discuss.tchncs.delinkfedilink5•edit-21 year agoThe X font server has been deprecated like 10 years ago. I doubt you’ll find it as an option in a modern distribution. Nowadays fonts are rendered by the client (application) with something like the Cairo library (if I’m not mistaken).
