Unfortunately, I have not following the discussion about X core fonts and
I'm not a font specialist.

If you mean the original bitmap oriented fonts of X11, so they are
several reasons to avoid the usage of this kinds of fonts.

The may issue with this fonts is, that they are not scaleable to any
size you want.
