there's no need to change anything. Just restart xfstt. Or opt for the
solution of adding the path to the TrueType fonts in /etc/X11/XF86Config-4
then defining a fonts.dir file in the fonts directories (I think X has
a tool for this...). anyway, it's pretty much easier to let X listen to
ports 7100 and 7101 - though I don't know the security implications of
this. Any comments?
