Wasn't the X font server designed for storageless X
terminals?

You'd just point the X server at the font server, and get
the fonts you 
need, without needing to replace the terminal's ROM.

Very few entities are able to license fonts for use on this
scale ; and
if the fonts are freely redistributable, the font server
part is useless
