Description

libXfont provides the core of the legacy X11 font system, handling the index files (fonts.dir, fonts.alias, fonts.scale), the various font file formats, and rasterizing them. It is used by the X display servers (Xorg, Xvfb, etc.) and the X Font Server (xfs), but should not be used by normal X11 clients. X11 clients access fonts via either the new APIs in libXft, or the legacy APIs in libX11.
