XQuartz finds my fonts just fine as far as I can tell (or at least FontConfig
does, which is good enough for me).

Security against what and what kind of data? The only remote X11 access I ever
do (ascending and descending) is to/from trusted hosts on a LAN, where a priori
it's safe enough to do `xhost +` and forego ssh tunnelling in order to get the
best bandwidth.
Now that you mention it: I don't even have a .X11-unix directory , is that the
reason I have to do the xhost dance to be able to make remote connections, also
on the Linux machine I often display on?
