The earlier example, unix/:7100, specifies a font server on port 7100 on the local
computer. The Unix domain socket is /tmp/.font-unix/fs7100. To specify a font server
on the host red, using the standard port number and accessing two catalogs of fonts
named drafting and design, the font server specification would be:
tcp/red:7100/drafting+design

144 Chapter 10: Core Fonts: Fonts the Old Way
The most commonly used font server, xfs, supports only one catalog
named all.
The other FontPath entries in the earlier configuration file specify directory names on
the local filesystem. The directories shown in the example are some of the traditional
ones, used to separate fonts into groups according to type:
75dpi, 100dpi
Bitmapped fonts designed for use with 75-dpi and 100-dpi screens.
TTF or TrueType
Scalable fonts in the Microsoft/Apple TrueType format.
Type1, CID
Scalable fonts in the Adobe Type 1 or Character Identifier (CID) formats. CID is
an enhanced version of Type 1, which is well suited to large character sets.
misc
Various bitmapped fonts, most with character cell spacing (for use with terminal
programs) or symbol character sets.
