I'll take a look too. I'd like to see the clients (luit, xfs ...) work
with the shared library.

This would add a new dependency to the xserver binary. Nearly everything
in the xserver is linked staticly and I think this was done to make the
independend of the other X11 client libraries.
I'd leave the server with the static Xfont library.
