Fonts: put them on the client, rather than the server (or both, if you want core fonts to work too,

Can't you just:

Xorg -query myserver.localdomain -fs tcp/myserver.localdomain:7100

and make sure xfs is running on myserver (and listening on tcp:7100) and have all the server's installed fonts available everywhere? One shouldn't have to upgrade a thin client once it is in place. Only the server.

You are confusing Server and Client.
Terminal Server == X client
Terminal (Thin) Client == X display server

So you install the fonts on the terminal server (once) and the program
will render the same on every client.
