Hi, Yes, it needs font on side of the X server that runs on side of your thinclient.
This is the obvious problem that yesterday I've missed somehow in the files that you've sent: directory with CDE aliases is not here, you ve got just /usr/share/fonts/truetype/msttcorefonts/,/usr/share/fonts/X11/misc,/usr/share/fonts/X11/Type1,built-ins Directory with CDE aliases /usr/dt/config/xfonts/el_GR.UTF-8 is missing, so you do not have any -dt* aliases printed in the xlsfont output. This directory is added automatically by /usr/dt/bin/Xsession which expects it to exist on your remote X server. So you need to add this directory to your thin client, or, if this is not possible, to use remote font server serving those directories (as suggested by Richard).
