+<title>Introduction</title>
+<para>
+The management of fonts in large, heterogeneous environments is one of the
+hardest aspects of using the X Window System
+<footnote id='footnote1'><para>

+</para></footnote>
+. 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.

+<!-- (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. It is important
+to note that in this context, the X server is also a font client.
+</para>
+<para>
+The X Font Service protocol does not require any changes to the core X protocol
+or to any applications. 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. Although the font protocol is geared towards
+the X Window System, it may be also used by other consumers of font data (such
+as printer drivers).

+Clients communicate with the font server using the request/reply/event model
+over any mutually-understood virtual stream connection (such as

+etc.). Font servers are responsible for providing data in the bit and byte
+orders requested by the client. The set of requests and events provided in the
+first version of the X Font Service protocol is limited to supporting the needs
+of the bitmap-oriented core X Window System protocol. Extensions are expected
+as new needs evolve.
+</para>
+<para>
+A font server reads raw font data from a variety of sources (possibly
+including other font servers) and converts it into a common format that is
+transmitted to the client using the protocol described in
+<link linkend='Protocol'>Section 4</link>. New font
+formats are handled by adding new converters to a font server, as shown in
+Figure 2.2.

+An event mechanism similar to that used in the X protocol is provided for

+Clients may provide authorization data for the server to be used in determining
+(according to the server's licensing policy) whether or not access should be

+Font clients that expose font server names to the user are encouraged to
+provide ways of naming font servers symbolically (e.g. DEPARTMENT-FONTS).
+However, for environments that lack appropriate name services
+transport-specific names are necessary. Since these names do occur in the

+described below. Formats for additional transports may be registered with the
+X Consortium.

+If any of the resulting character ranges are invalid, a
+<link linkend="Errors:Range"><errorname>Range</errorname></link>
+error is returned. Otherwise, the resulting character ranges

+to produce a set of character codes for which bitmaps are returned.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+The server is free to return the glyph bitmaps in multiple
+replies to reduce the amount of buffering that is necessary.
+In this situation, the set of characters obtained above is
+partitioned into an implementation-dependent number of
+ordered, non-overlapping subsets containing runs of one or
+more consecutive characters. The global ordering of
+characters must be maintained such that concatenating the
+subsets in order that they were produced yields the original
+set. A reply is generated for each subset, in the order that
+it was produced.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+For each character in a subset, an image of that character's
+glyph is described by a rectangle of bits corresponding to the
+pixels specified by FORMAT.IMAGE-RECT. Within the image, set
+and clear bits represent inked and non-inked pixels,
+respectively.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+Each scanline of a glyph image, from top to bottom, is zero-padded
+on the right to a multiple of the number of bits specified by
+FORMAT.SCANLINE-PAD. The scanline is then divided from left
+to right into a sequence of FORMAT.SCANLINE-UNIT bits. The
+bits of each unit are then arranged such that the left-most
+pixel is stored in the most- or least-significant bit,
+according to FORMAT.BIT-ORDER-MSB. The bytes of each unit are
+then arranged such that the most- or least-significant byte,
+according to FORMAT.BYTE-ORDER-MSB, is transmitted first.
+Finally, the units are arranged such that the left-most is
+transmitted first and the right-most is transmitted last.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+The individual images within a subset are then concatenated in
+a server-dependent order to form the <parameter>BITMAPS</parameter> data
+of the reply. If a glyph image is duplicated within a reply, the
+server is free to return fewer (but at least one) copies of
+the image. If a character is not encoded within the font, a
+zero-length bitmap is substituted for this character. Each
+glyph image must begin at a bit position that is a multiple of
+the FORMAT.SCANLINE-UNIT.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+The <parameter>OFFSETS</parameter> array in a reply contains one entry
+for each character in the subset being returned, in the order that the
+characters appear in the subset. Each entry specifies the
+starting location in bytes and size in bytes of the
+corresponding glyph image in the <parameter>BITMAPS</parameter> data of that
+reply (i.e. an offset may not refer to data in another reply).
+ </para>
+ <para>
+The <parameter>REPLIES-FOLLOWING-HINT</parameter> field in all but the
+last reply contains a positive value that specifies the number of replies
+that are likely, but not required, to follow. In the last
+reply, which may contain data for zero or more characters,
+this field is set to zero.

+<title>Suggested Licensing Policies</title>
+<para>
+The authorization data passed by the client in the initial connection
+setup information may be used by the font server to implement restrictions
+on which fonts may be accessed. Furthermore, the font server is free to
+refuse new connections at any time.
+</para>
+<para>
+Configuration or management of the license restrictions is outside the scope of
+the font service protocol and is done in a server-dependent manner. Possible
+policies might include, but are not limited to, combinations of the following:
+
+<variablelist>
+ <?dbhtml list-presentation="list"?>
+ <varlistentry>
+ <term>No restrictions</term>
+ <listitem>
+ <para>
+anyone may access any fonts. The server neither refuses any connections
+nor generates <link linkend="Errors:AccessContext"><errorname>AccessContext</errorname></link> errors on any
+fonts. For environments without specially-licensed fonts, this is
+sufficient.
+ </para>
+ </listitem>
+ </varlistentry>
+ <varlistentry>
+ <term>Per-machine</term>
+ <listitem>
+ <para>
+only those clients connecting from a known set of
+machines are permitted access. The server could get the address
+of the connection and look in a list of allowed machines.
+ </para>
+ </listitem>
+ </varlistentry>
+ <varlistentry>
+ <term>Per-user</term>
+ <listitem>
+ <para>
+only a known set of users may access the fonts. The
+server can use the authorization data (such as a Kerberos ticket
+or a Secure RPC credential) to verify the identity of the user
+and then look in a list of allowed users.
+ </para>
+ </listitem>
+ </varlistentry>
+ <varlistentry>
+ <term>Simultaneous Use</term>
+ <listitem>
+ <para>
+only a certain number of clients may use a given font at any one time.
+Additional clients would receive <link linkend="Errors:AccessContext"><errorname>AccessContext</errorname></link>
+errors if they attempt to open the font. This is only effective if
+the initial clients keep the font open for the entire time that it
+is being used (even if all of the data has been transmitted and is
+being cached).
+ </para>
+ </listitem>
+ </varlistentry>
+ <varlistentry>
+ <term>Postage Meter</term>
+ <listitem>
+ <para>
+a particular font may only be accessed a limited
+number of times before its license must be renewed. Each time
+the font is opened, the server decrements a counter. When the
+counter reaches zero, all further attempts to open the font
+return an <link linkend="Errors:AccessContext"><errorname>AccessContext</errorname></link> error.
+ </para>
+ </listitem>
+ </varlistentry>
+</variablelist>

+Font server implementations will probably wish to use techniques such as the

+</para>
+<itemizedlist>
+ <listitem>
+ <para>
+The initial connection information returned by the font
+server contains the names of other font servers that
+may be used as substitutes. A font server may refuse to
+accept a connection, indicating that the client should
+try one of the alternatives instead.
+ </para>
+ </listitem>
+ <listitem>
+ <para>
+On operating systems that support processing forking, font
+servers might choose to fork so that the child can continue
+processing the existing connections and the parent can accept
+new connections. Such implementations are encouraged to use
+shared memory so that in-memory font databases can be shared.
+ </para>
+ </listitem>
+ <listitem>
+ <para>
+On operating systems that support passing stream file descriptors
+between processes, cooperating font servers could collect
+connections in a single process when there are few connections
+and spread them among several processes as the load increases.
+ </para>
+ </listitem>
+ <listitem>
+ <para>
+If a font client is unable to connect to a server (as opposed
+to having the connection terminated), it should retry for an
+implementation-dependent length of time (see Xlib's
+handling of ECONNREFUSED in XConnDis.c).
