Ok but "traditional" X11 is perfectly capable of using TrueType fonts,
server-side, XLoadFont-style. On my system (your paths will vary) --
% xlsfonts -ll -fn '-bitstream-bitstream vera
serif-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-iso10646-1' | grep NAME
FAMILY_NAME bitstream vera serif
WEIGHT_NAME medium
SETWIDTH_NAME normal
ADD_STYLE_NAME
FACE_NAME Bitstream Vera Serif
_ADOBE_POSTSCRIPT_FONTNAME BitstreamVeraSerif-Roman
RASTERIZER_NAME FreeType
% find /opt/X11/share/fonts -type f | grep -i verase
/opt/X11/share/fonts/TTF/VeraSe.ttf
/opt/X11/share/fonts/TTF/VeraSeBd.ttf
% xterm -fn '-bitstream-bitstream vera
serif-medium-r-normal--17-120-100-100-p-107-iso10646-1'
...works!
