Craig,

It looks good,

But don't forget about XFree 4 which has its own True Type support built in  
which means you don't need font server.

Also, don't forget to let people add fonts server (xset command) and 
refreshing fonts (xset fp rehash)..

Just my 2 cents ;)

Keep up the good work ;)

Hetz
