I think the answer is "yes", but I'm not sure exactly what you want. In
particular you say you want to differentiate between "logging in" from
a lisp machine and other machines, but that the Xterm may be running on
the same machine in either case. I'm confused.

I assume that in all cases you are talking to only one server. Now
either you are running Xterm on a lisp machine and a different Xterm on
a different machine. In which case the answer is trivial and you can
even do it under X10. You simply have a different .Xdefaults file on
each of the machines that you run Xterm on. On the lisp machine your
.Xdefaults has one font specified, and on the other machine it has some
other font specified. (of course if you .Xdefaults is NFS mounted or
some such so that it is the same on both machines, you may have a problem.)

If, on the other hand, the xterms are both running on the same machine,
it is either a lisp machine or it isn't so I'm confused. If you have
two xterms running on (say) a Lisp Machine, and you want each of them
to have different fonts, depending on what kind of machine the shell
inside the xterm is rlogged in to, you have a REAL problem, since Xterm
doesn't (really) support changing fonts on the fly. You'd have to re-code Xterm.

If, on the other other hand, you mean something else, then I don't
understand the question, but if you'd clarify I'd be happy to take a
crack at answering.
