Works for me, but I have to give it a numerical port

	fslsfonts -server localhost:7100
	fstobdf -server localhost:7100 -fn ...

OTOH, a font plugin for X would be nice, too. Andreas' frame work doesn't
fit X's idea of font names terribly well, but from a first glance it's
general enough to be usable:

Andreas, could you explain the non-obvious functions a bit? Like what are
ioFontEmbeddingFlags() and ioGetFontData() supposed to be?

char *ioListFont(int fontIndex);
int ioCreateFont(int fontNameIndex, int fontNameLength, int pixelSize, int flags);
int ioDestroyFont(int fontIndex);
int ioFontWidthOfChar(int fontIndex, int characterIndex);
int ioFontFullWidthOfChar(int fontIndex, int characterIndex, int width[3]);
int ioFontNumKernPairs(int fontIndex);
int ioFontGetKernPair(int fontIndex, int kernIndex, int kernPair[3]);
int ioFontGlyphOfChar(int fontIndex, int characterIndex, 
                     int formBitsIndex, int formWidth, int formHeight, int formDepth);
int ioFontEncoding(int fontIndex);
int ioFontAscent(int fontIndex);
int ioFontDescent(int fontIndex);
int ioFontEmbeddingFlags(int fontIndex);
int ioGetFontDataSize(int fontIndex);
int ioGetFontData(int fontIndex, char *buffer, int bufSize);
