Not sure about proper documentation ... but, XFS (X Font Server) as the
name implied is a server process that serve fonts :) For example, on a
Solaris box, they have all the dtfonts for CDE, if a Linux box is to
connect to a X session off it, it will have to either install the fonts or
get the fonts off the Solaris' XFS (if it is running one). The second
method save space, save management troubles and avoid replication.
