Sure:

I'm an old gentoo user - in that distro you can run a font-server with xorg (xfs). The xfs's config file is /etc/X11/fs/config - it loads the fonts before x starts. New to Arch, just wondering why there isn't an obvious xfs deamon.

Because arch doesnt use it?

Try not to write your post in bold, it feels like you're screaming at me. I dont like being yelled at, it's almost as bad as being threatened by a polar bear.

With xorg, isn't the font server no longer a seperate entity?  I believe font management is built directly into xorg.
