So I have tried with Xephyr -screen option and the color are better for the application that is using certainly an old 8-bit PseudoColor visual. But they ar far from being ok, so is there anything I can set up on the mac to get them better ?

Probably not; 8 bit color is fairly lame. But others may have some ideas.


Now the fonts: I assume I do not use the AIX fonts but the fonts on my mac X11. So I set up the AIX fonts on the mac X11. But I have two concerns:
- there is some font.aliases files in the AIX /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/ fonts and I do not know how to set up those on my mac

Just copy over all the fonts and alias files, then run mkfontdir in the font directory. If you created a new directory for the fonts (recommended) then you will need to use xset fp+ to tell the running X11.app about it. (I don't know offhand how you would do this permanently; with the usual xorg setup you'd edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf, but I suspect that's not right for OSX. X11 folks?)
