The font server, fs, provides a way to minimize disk use and standardize available fonts for a network of X terminals and SCO OpenServer systems. The font server allows you to install fonts on a single machine, then access those fonts from any capable X server on the network.
The font server uses the standard X fonts. The same rules about constructing and using font files, directories and resources with the standard font system apply to the font server. If you are running the font server, you can still use local fonts by adding the appropriate font directories to your font path.
By default, the X server does not use the font server. You must start it from the command line, or by editing a configuration or startup file. See ``Using the font server'' for more information.
