If well coded, vast font availability on the xfs server needn't result in a major increase of memory usage on the client end. But I'm well aware this is an if(0) statement. A problem is that limiting font availability based on locale is extremely inflexible. If you have a Hebrew user learning Japanese, they won't be able to set up their system so that they can use fonts for both scripts. So, given the choice I (for my desktop) would prefer to have available all the fonts[1], accepting the resulting bloat.
