I'm afraid this won't do. A real life example:
I have a Solaris host which doesn't have frame buffer, so it's console
is a text terminal. Hundreds of people work on it, and the only way
to use graphics is via X terminals. As far as I know, people use Linux,
Solaris, Ultrix, Digital Unix and NT based X terminals, but there could be
others. I have a font server, but a great number of those X terminals are
not under my control and I'm certain that some of them can't use font
server. There are X terminals with ISO 8859-2 fonts and there are those
without. I don't know if the same fonts are available on those that have
them. There's no way for me to find that out or influence the setting on
most of them.

X resources are the only solution I can think of for this kind of problem.
Or some kind of mumbo-jumbo on startup which emulates things one normaly
gets with X resources.

How are these two fonts used exactly? And what happens if I specify a
font which is not present on a particular X terminal?
