We build fixed and one or two other fonts into the kdrive X server.
The reasoning here is that in embedded systems, you need to ensure
that the X server will always start at least far enough to get to
a UI to tell the user how to reload the system. It isn't acceptable
on systems with no keyboards to expect a user to rummage around
a log file and try to recover.
The size is quite small.
