Given that scitext is *alpha* my choice is 1 and in fact I would keep it that way for a long time -- a good word processor will be very demanding on the server by way of possibly requesting all sorts of odd fonts. However , it is not that difficult to add to your .xinitrc xset +fp /usr/local/scitext/fonts & I sure hope that scitext excites people enough to further develop it.
