I've played with MI/X, and it does not understand font servers
at all. I just bit the bullet and copies all of the fonts from
/usr/lib/X11/fonts/misc over (after converting from .pcf.gz to .bdf)
in order to get gtk programs working. The font directory is now
arount 4.7Mb in size.

It still can cause problems with a whole range of errors (crashing,
request too large, have to start a program twice, ...)
