an idea for building win32 based xfd

[Kin Taishin <taishin at imap dot cc>]

Please let me have your comments on my idea that
aims to build win32 based x font server which is capable of
exporting fonts installed on a Windows machine.
By using this server, cygwin/xfree users do not need to
install X-specific fonts aside from Windows fonts.
This server is expected to behave as xfd. So any X server
will benefit from this server.
Since font installation is done in Windows side, almost no
font configuration effort is required in X side.
I'd like to have your opinion about this. I guess this kind of
idea has already poped up in many peoples' mind.
There might be a similar project or software proposed by
someone else before...
Any comment?

Thanks,
Taishin
