libXfont provides the core of the legacy X11 font system, handling the index files (fonts.dir, fonts.alias, fonts.scale), the various font file formats, and rasterizing them. It is used by the X display servers (Xorg, Xvfb, etc.) and the X Font Server (xfs), but should not be used by normal X11 clients. X11 clients access fonts via either the new APIs in libXft, or the legacy APIs in libX11.
In the past, systems needed to provide both libXfont 1.5 & 2.0 libraries to support the full X Window System. If your system has updated to at least xfs 1.2.0 and bdftopcf 1.1, then libXfont 1.5 should no longer be needed and you should only need libXfont 2.0.x going forward.
