I am doing the same, so, my apologies too. :-)

Yes, we know. (Thanks, BTW!) As you may have read from other posts, from
Debian JP developers, the suggestion is to make "startx" uses "-deferglyphs
16" by default too, because the people running into problem with xfs-xtt &
xserver are the ones who run X manually with startx and didn't know they
needed to use "startx -- -deferglyphs 16".
The suggestion from SANO-san is to modify /usr/X11R6/bin/startx,
whereas the suggestion from ISHIKAWA-san is to
"#define DEFAULT_GLYPH_CACHING_MODE CACHE_16_BIT_GLYPHS"
in fonts.h. Their messages were posted to debian-x@lists.debian.org,
so you've probably read them already. Methinks both of these are excellent
ideas, so, take your pick, or heaven forbids, let's do both! ;-)

Hey, that would be a nice idea! :-) Although the 16bit CJK PCF fonts aren't
anywhere as huge as the TrueType ones, it would definitely make loading
those PCF fonts faster. :-) Thanks!
