One thing that concerns me about sending glyphs across the wire is that is does appear to work nicely for the current crop of low resolution monitors (~100 DPI). But what happens when higher resolution monitors become available? Heck, what happens when you try to run it to a current 1200DPI printer using the XPrint extension?
It appears that you will end up on the wrong end of an n**2 problem.
