Multiple formats and the lack of +a consistent mechanism for exporting font data to all displays on a network +prevent the transparent use of applications across different display platforms. +The X Font Service protocol is designed to address this and other issues, with +specific emphasis on the needs of the core X protocol. Upward-compatible +changes (typically in the form of new requests) are expected as consensus is +reached on new features (particularly outline font support). +</para> +<para> +Currently, most X displays use network file protocols such as +<acronym>NFS</acronym> and <acronym>TFTP</acronym> to +obtain raw font data which they parse directly. Since a common binary format +for this data doesn't exist, displays must be able to interpret a variety of +formats if they are to be used with different application hosts. This leads to +wasted code and data space and a loss of interoperability as displays are used +in unforeseen environments. +</para> +<para> +By moving the interpretation of font data out of the X server into a separate +service on the network, these problems can be greatly reduced. In addition, +new technologies, such as dynamically generating bitmaps from scaled or outline +fonts, can be provided to all displays transparently. For horizontal text, +caching techniques and increased processor power can potentially make +rasterization more efficient on large, centralized hosts than on individual +displays. +</para> +<para> +Each font server provides sets of fonts that may be listed and queried for +header, property, glyph extents, and bitmap information. This data is +transmitted over the network using a binary format (with variations to support +different bit- and byte-orders) designed to minimize the amount of processing +required by the display. Since the font server, rather than the display, is +responsible for parsing the raw font data, new formats can be used by all +displays by modifying a single font server. +</para> +<para> +From the user's point of view, font servers are simply a new type of name in +the X font path. Network name services allow descriptive names (such as +DEPARTMENT-FONTS or APPLICATION-FONTS) to be translated into proper network +addresses. X displays send requests to and read replies from the font server +rather than reading directly from files. Since the X Font Service protocol is +designed to allow subsets of the font data to be requested, displays may easily +implement a variety of strategies for fine-grained demand-loading of glyphs. +</para> +</chapter> + +<chapter id='Architectural_Model'> +<title>Architectural Model</title> +<!-- .XS --> +<!-- (SN Architectural Model --> +<!-- .XE --> +<para> +In this document, the words <firstterm>client</firstterm> and +<firstterm>server</firstterm> refer to the consumer and +provider of a font, respectively, unless otherwise indicated.

To the user, font servers are simply additional types +of font path elements. As such, X servers may connect to multiple font +servers, as shown in Figure 2.1.
