That said, which apps care about core fonts these days? Would it make
sense to just build-in a fixed font or something and let everything
else use fontconfig (as most decent apps do these days)?
Emacs. But hopefully Emacs 22, which has a GTK-only build option, will
be in Core 7.
And does the new Emacs still require libXaw or is a gtk-only build
possible? If so, dropping Xaw would only mean losing xterm (a pain,
but there are lots of alternatives available, but only one Emacs).
