Yes, I missed this. I think it is possible to use FreeType library for
the font rendering both on linux and on windows. At present we are
using xft on linux, but I think it is possible to refactor this to the
"pure freetype" code. It may take less efforts than implementing font
rasterizer from the
There is a number of issues with headless support. And the serious one is
font support. Our implementation uses system fonts, so in headless
environment it could not initialize any font. RI uses own font rasterizer,
so it doesn't have such problems.

I am just checking a dependency. Don't think so.

If you mean libxlib, how it could be used without X server? Maybe some
other library (e.g. font library like xft) simply preloads it during
its initialization or tries to connect to the server (XOpenDisplay) to
get some data, fails and uses defaults?

How implemented IBM their headless stuff? In their case it's a
requirement to have XOrg shared libraries installed to have headless
working. In order distros it was XFree libs. No need for an X server,
just the libs.

Right, that is my question too. I've seen the general description at
the URL Oleg sent, it's hardly a spec tho'.
I don't think that spec for this exists.
Another document on this is [1]. It describes what can and what cannot
be done in headless mode. But we also have the list of methods which
