Yes? But older X code used to use server side font rendering. The move to client side is the new thing. So this still sounds like the original comment got it right, though I guess ordered in a way that might make it ambiguous.

I'm not disagreeing with you. I'm merely pointing out that you're not disagreeing with GP either.
