Xft uses the "Glyph Rendering"[1] interface of XRender which is happening serve-side. The Glyphs themselves are rendered only once client side.

Since you demonstrated that you generally have no idea what you are talking about, why are still participating in the conversation? What makes you shill so hard for obviously flawed engineering? What is your agenda? I truly don't understand.

That's literally what I just said? The glpyhs get rendered client side and then composited in the server.
