Hopefully, eventually, the fonts can be set through some
configuaration program. But, are you sure that I can use whatever
fonts? Can I use type 1 fonts and expect to have some anti-aliasing
support? X font server really is not that good. Also, there is support 
for anti-alised text in Gimp. Is it going to be part of GTK so that
the font problems in X can be corrected at library level code?

Aha, Unfortunately, I am not that good at X hacking. Besides, I was
told that the X Print Server is something recent. I don't know anybody 
who hacked with it!
