I'm interested in the implementation of the server.

I kind of feel implement it as a file server
sits on somewhere like /lib/font/bit/ttf.  When a
certain font like /lib/font/bit/ttf/R.7.1 is requested
to be open(2)ed and doesn't exist, the server creates
it using ttf2subf and returns the resulted bit map font.

The beauty of Plan 9 file server.
