Alexander,
This all gets down to one question: does it make any sense and is there any benefit to building a shared Xfont lib?
I'll take a look too. I'd like to see the clients (luit, xfs ...) work with the shared library.
I can't see any good reasons for it. Well, the one good reason is that the size of XWin.exe drops by about 600 KiB, but that is about it.
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.
