??? How much do you know about the X Window System?  At its core, the X
server needs to find fonts, and will do that using the font path.  KDE,
etc., are just things that sit on top of X.  And are you now suggesting
that as well as man requiring -x, we also need to be running KDE?

You want to end the conversation -- fine.  But AFAICS you don't know
this aspect of X and are choosing to ignore it.
