You'll want one which uses xerver-side fonts instead of client-side
fonts (ie fonts shows by xlsfonts rather than ones shown by fc-list)
and to avoid all recent x11 toolkits (gtk, qt or the like).

Emacs compiled for xaw (aka athena) or motif would work.

You'll need to compile your own, though, since all of the binary dists
use the gtk build these days.

That said, for most remote editing I prefer emacs or vi/vim w/o X11.
(Ususally called emacs-nox or vim-nox in apt or yum).  Even busybox's
vi is enough for simple editing.
