I can't remember the exact figure, but I had to zip much of my hard
disk. Suffice to say it's the only thing I've built that takes more
disk space and time to build than XEmacs.

I downloaded and installed the fonts:

	etl14-cyrillic.bdf.Z
	etl24-cyrillic.bdf.Z
	etl16-cyrillic.bdf.Z
	mincho16-jisx0212.bdf.Z

Now when I load the file, I get no warnings, no ~~~~~'s, but still no
coredump.

I'm not sure it buys you a right lot on a single-user system, except
that delays in scaling fonts should only block the application that
requested the font, not the X server.

I mentioned it in case it was related. I think that this is all the
installation involved:

add to /etc/XF86Config:

	FontPath	"tcp/localhost:7100"

add to /etc/rc.d/rc.4 (or wherever):

	/usr/X11R6/bin/xfs &

install /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fs/config:

	# font server configuration file
	# $XConsortium: config.cpp,v 1.7 91/08/22 11:39:59 rws Exp $
	
	port = 7100
	clone-self = on
	use-syslog = off
	catalogue = /usr/X11R6/lib/fonts/misc:unscaled,
		/usr/X11R6/lib/fonts/75dpi:unscaled,
		/usr/X11R6/lib/fonts/100dpi:unscaled,
		/usr/X11R6/lib/fonts/international:unscaled,
		/usr/X11R6/lib/fonts/Type1,
		/usr/X11R6/lib/fonts/Speedo,
		/usr/X11R6/lib/fonts/misc,
		/usr/X11R6/lib/fonts/75dpi,
		/usr/X11R6/lib/fonts/100dpi,
		/usr/X11R6/lib/fonts/international
	error-file = /var/log/fs-errors
	# in decipoints
	default-point-size = 120
	default-resolutions = 75,75,100,100
