+libXfont: libXfont provides the core of the legacy X11 font system, handling the
+libXfont: index files (fonts.dir, fonts.alias, fonts.scale), the various font
+libXfont: file formats, and rasterizing them. It is used by the X servers, the
+libXfont: X Font Server (xfs), and some font utilities (bdftopcf for instance),
+libXfont: but should not be used by normal X11 clients. X11 clients access fonts
+libXfont: via either the new API's in libXft, or the legacy API's in libX11.
