I use a script in /sbin/init.d to start xfsft. It's symlinked from
../rc3.d
But that's a philisophical question. ;-))

like:
Section "Files"
  RgbPath       "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/rgb"
  FontPath      "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi:unscaled"
  FontPath      "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi:unscaled"
  FontPath      "unix/localhost:7101"
...

This means only the fontpath "tcp/localhost:7100" entry and put the
other fonts into xfsft's config file. Havn't tried that yet.
