    I remember messing around with font servers 25 years ago in XFree86. Are font servers still a thing with X11?

      The X font server has been deprecated like 10 years ago. I doubt you’ll find it as an option in a modern distribution. Nowadays fonts are rendered by the client (application) with something like the Cairo library (if I’m not mistaken).
