Changes (by jg):

  * keywords:  font, xfs, xorg =>
  * milestone:  Never Assigned => Future Release


Comment:

 We will never support xfs.

 There was a mistake that caused font aliases that cause most legacy X
 applications to evaporate in the Ship.2 release.  These will be in
 update.1.

 I'd expect xset fp to work....  I presume you have a properly set up font
 directory????

 I suggest, however, that font aliases to the existing outline fonts are a
 better solution for almost all applications.

 Bernie?
