Hi Seemant,

I think this move is a great idea. I've wanted to see this happen for
quite a while really but it always looked like a lot of work and testing
would be needed and I don't really have the time.

As for removing all fonts from xfree, I think it's a good idea in
principle but of fairly low priority. I can see a time in the future
when xfree won't use any unscaled fonts at all, everything will be
{open|true}type or PS, but while there are still apps that use unscaled
fonts it may be better to just leave the 75/100 dpi stuff as part of
xfree. I guess I don't really have to much of an opinion on this one.

That said, I'll rebuild xfree tonight and get testing your stuff
straight away!

Cheers,
Ian.
