1. Font header info, font sizes: How "stable" is the character extent
info in the XFontStruct and the individual XCharStructs for a given
font?
Sorry, I can't really figure out what you're asking here.
2. Local RGB database: Is there a means in the core Protocol of
establishing LOCAL copies of the RGB colorname database?
The set of color names (and their values) is server-dependent. The mechanism
by which a "color database" is given to the server is implementation-dependent.
There is no core protocol support to extend the set of colors.
A way of
specifying a local database to replace the default one at xinit time
would be sufficient.
In an MIT server, you can pass a "-co <fname>" option at xinit time to
specify the RGB database to be used. Of course, that assumes people use
xinit (instead of init or xdm or ...), and there's no guarantee that
vendor servers will provide a comparable option.
