You can configure your server to provide the fonts and the client to look
at the server to receive them. The Linux Terminal Server project should
tell you how to do this.
If you get no joy there try typing:
man xfs
xfs is the xfont server.
I'm sorry I can be more specific. I know this can be done but I've never
done myself.
As I said, the Linux Terminal Srver project should come to you aid here.
Either with documentation or by asking on a mailing list.
BTW once you get things running, please email us the instructions so we
can archive them and use your answer to other others in the future.
Good Luck!
Martin
