Does this recommendation still make sense? It certainly *used to be*
the case that font rendering (and a lot of other rendering) was done
server-side on the X server, possibly with fonts served by a remote
font server like the xfstt package; but my understanding is that this
decade, toolkits like GTK and Qt normally do their rendering locally
and are responsible for loading their own fonts, mostly via fontconfig
and freetype.
