libXfont2 supersedes libXfont (1.4.7). The current users of that library
need to be rebuilt.

```
ousage.pl /usr/lib/libXfont.so.1
 # 'users' of '/usr/lib/libXfont.so.1'
  /usr/bin/Xnest xorg-server-1.18.4-0.x86_64
  /usr/bin/Xvfb xorg-server-1.18.4-0.x86_64
  /usr/bin/bdftopcf bdftopcf-1.0.4-0.x86_64
  /usr/libexec/Xorg xorg-server-1.18.4-0.x86_64

```

Create the bee package with the command below.

```
$ bee init https://www.x.org/pub/individual/lib/libXfont2-2.0.1.tar.bz2
creating libXfont2-2.0.1-0.bee from template '/etc/default/bee/templates/fallback'
```

Convert it to a versionless bee file, configure it according to the
instructions in the LFS book [1], and disable building of the static
variants of the library .

Since X.Org Server 1.19 this is not needed anymore.

[1] https://www.x.org/archive/individual/font/

Changes [1]:

> X.Org Server 1.19 features a few big features including threaded input
> support that had been in development for several years (more details),
> PRIME synchronization support as spearheaded by NVIDIA, XWayland
> pointer confinement and warping and other XWayland improvements,
> modesetting driver improvements, Windows DRI extension support, GLAMOR
> improvements, and more.

This release also breaks the driver ABIs, so the drivers need to be
rebuilt.

This reverts commit 95adc1f.

Currently old X applications like `xload`, `xfontsel` and `xdu`, as they
need the fonts. To not hold up the update, leave the fonts installed.
