That's true. If you load the freetype and type1 modules, and have the
appropriate FontPath entries in XF86Config-4, you can do without xfs.

However, if you do use xfs, you can dink around with your fonts without
having to restart X itself - you only need to restart the X font server.
I use xfs for this reason.

Can anyone comment on whether using xfs incurs a performance penalty? I
can't say I've noticed.

Take care,

Peter.
