In , Branden Robinson (branden-ecn) wrote : X servers and X font dependencies

There are lots of open "bugs" about this, so this is my final word on the
issue:

No, X servers should not depend on any font packages.

This is because any X server can be configured to use font services on a
remote host.

Please read the package descriptions of the xfonts-* packages and
xserver-common.
