I'm not sure of a good way.  There are other bug reports because of
the dependencies within X11.  Perhaps something like an "xfs-client"
dummy package that provides serveral xfnt values?  The problem is the
need to go around the system a bit - after all, you don't really
*know* what fonts xfs will make available at packaging time...
