I doubt that this is a serious problem in case of the X11 bitmap fonts
like -adobe-helvetica-, -adobe-times-, and -adobe-new century schoolbook-.

Fonts are mostly specified in documents of word processing software
like KWord or OpenOffice. Plain text editors don't write font names
into the files.

And why should anybody want to use bitmap fonts for example in KWord
or OpenOffice? In OpenOffice it isn't even possible.  In KWord it is
possible, but I don't think it makes any sense at all.
