Situation with fonts on X is quite fluid at the moment.
You should have better chance looking for ‘font server’ and
‘client-side fonts’.
Basically, until around the time of Debian 3 the preferred
method was the use of a font server: you configured one font server in
the network serving every font under the sun to whatever X servers.
Each X server’s /etc/X11/XF86Config would point to the font server.
But around the time of Debian 3 too started the migration to
client-side fonts: the client – that is, the program requesting the
windows to the X server, program which paradoxically runs in the host
while the X server runs in the terminal – has the fonts.
If you upgrade to Debian testing you should get client-side
fonts quite automagically.
