Thnaks for the answer.
But...
I started X font server by
xfs -config /etc/X11/fs/config
The answer was: "xfs notice: listening on port 7100"
Then I tried to start X-Server as
xwin -fp tcp/my_host_name:7100
and got the next:
"Could not init font path element tcp/my_host_name:7100, removing from list!
Fatal server error:
could not open default font 'fixed'
[1]- Segmentation fault (core dumped) xfs"
Actually having looked through the usage pages of the XWin I did not find
any option
of using arguments for the X font server when starting XWin.

No. There is no such configuration file.

This is only used by xfs.

You can use the fontserver and store the path configuration there. The
X-Server is the started with the option -fp tcp/<servername>:7100.
