In addition, the X server supports font servers. A font server is a networked program that supplies fonts to X servers and other capable programs. In order to communicate with a font server, the font servers address must be supplied as part of the X server's font path.

In addition, the X server supports font servers. A font server is a networked program that
supplies fonts to X servers and other capable programs. In order to communicate with a
font server, the font servers address must be supplied as part of the X server's font path. A
font server's address is specified as:
<transport>
/
<hostname>
:
<port-number>
where <
transport
> is always
tcp
, <
hostname
> is the hostname of the machine being
connected to (no hostname means a local connection) and <
port-number
> is the tcp
address that the font server is listening at (typically 7000).
