I'm not sure if that can be avoided - I'm not aware of a common "font
service" for X, gs etc. Possibly it could work similiar to the "menu" or
"doc-base" systems: font-providing packages register their fonts with a
centralised system, and font-using packages implement a way to use the font
registered in this way. Such a system would IMO need to be broader than just
type 1, and cover general PostScript and TrueType fonts at the minimum.
