Yes, that seems to be true.

    FontPath        "unix/:7100"                    # local font server

cmatrix-xfont, xfonts-75dpi-transcoded, xfonts-nexus, msttcorefonts,
gsfonts-x11, ttf-larabie-straight, xfonts-x3270-misc, xfonts-artwiz,
sharefont, t1-xfree86-nonfree, xfonts-pex, xfonts-greek-ph-75dpi,
xfonts-base, unifont, xfonts-scalable, xfonts-100dpi, xfonts-konsole,
xfonts-base-transcoded, xfonts-mona, xfonts-100dpi-transcoded,
xfonts-75dpi, ttf-larabie-deco, xfonts-terminus, xfonts-tipa,
ttf-larabie-uncommon, xfonts-bochs, freefont, scalable-cyrfonts-x11,
artwiz-cursor, xfonts-jmk, ttf-commercial: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts

Seems to be a rather big bunch.

What also makes me struggle is the fact that xfontsel displays the
message "32767 names match" in the upper right corner of the window -
this number seems to indicate that there could be some 16bit signed
integer overrun...

Thanks,
Markus
