Sorry, but set_font_authorizations is used - it's called from libXfont.
(Well, it's used in theory - I don't think anyone ever really used the
font server license/authorization checking support.)
It used to be one of the nuisances in installing Oracle was the Sun
licensed fonts, which wouldn't display in arbitrary places. Where was
that check made?
I have no idea - I didn't know there was such a problem. Are you sure
it was a license issue and not our former proprietary F3 font format or
the Adobe DPS/XATM postscript font handling?
I suppose it could have been either.
