That's an interesting approach as well!  Of course, the change in the
documentation as Ludo' proposed is a bit less invasive :-)

I wonder if the libXfont security issue couldn't be solved in a way
such that it can still handle symlinks.  But it is not something to
dwell over long: the documentation change is sufficient in my opinion.
