It is a problem. When the BDF is present it results in the inefficiency of using it instead of the binary-tailored PCF. The worst is, however, when the BDF is not installed at all -- font name will be listed (as in xlsfonts), but the server will refuse to use it... I had gemini-fonts in front of my fontpath (for koi8-u enoding). After switching to Xorg, most of the fonts stopped working in xterm :-( -mi
