I need to figure out how to make an ubuntu 8.04 system serve fonts to mingw X11
on Windows.
The back story is I need to run with a moderately twisted environment because of
disabilities requiring speech recognition. The environment consists of the host
OS as 8.04, Windows as a virtual machine, and another 8.04 virtual machine is a
development target.

I could really use a font server for the mingw X11 server on Windows. I know I
can run local fonts but quite frankly, they are pretty awful looking and they
take up a sizable chunk of space. What do I need to do to get my host system to
serve fonts to the mingw X11 server?
