Font server is actually not mentioned there, so nothing is outdated by this change. Not many people are probably running a font server, but for those who do, these changes might help. I expect majority of users just put font paths in XFree86/X.Org server configuration file or just rely on Xft to pick up fonts; both of these are explained in Handbook and are not directly related to particular way of how X server gets fonts. If there's a need for font server to be documented there, perhaps a pointer to xfs(1) would be enough. I'm afraid I'm no good at writing documentation though... Something like the following might be usefule at the end of 'Type1 Fonts' section: In case you are running a font server (x11-servers/xorg-fontserver or x11-servers/XFree86-4-FontServer), add the path to font files in its configuration file (/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fs/config by default) to 'catalogue' keyword. See also xfs(1) for more details. Actually while looking at 'Type1 Fonts' section, it looks rather more generic, not only Type1 specific. It could be used as a reference in fonts ports instead of existing pkg-messages, which would come in handy with PR ports/73009. Dejan
