I know that probably 99% of xfs installations are using a font server on localhost, but I've actually had situations where it was very useful to have a network based font server: 1. X Terminals (a.k.a. thin clients) can get their fonts from the server's xfs process. Makes updating the collection of fonts the X Terminals are using *much* easier. 2. Obscure fonts, such as those used by Mathematica, can be installed in one place and distrubted network wide. But now this thread is wandering off the topic a bit .... Chip -- Charles M.
