Dual X displays - separate font settings possible?

[Chris Greenman]

I may be wrong on this but I would say no.  when the X server runs in 
Xinerama mode it turns both monitors into a single display (:0.0 for 
example).  Since there is only one display there is only one set of 
resources. 

Now if you were running 2 different monitors in NON Xinerama mode (:0.0 
and :0.1) then I would say Yes it is possible.
