Dieter,
the stock answers to this problem are:
1) Copy /usr/X11R6/...fonts/ to /opt/ltsp/i386... as you have done.
2) Move /usr/X11R6/...fonts/ to /opt/ltsp/i386.. and put links in
/usr/X11R6/... back to the files in /opt...
3) Have the clients use the ltspserver's font server


Pluses and minuses:
#1 takes more room
#2 breaks upgrades on the server
#3 is reported to have problems when under load.

Any of these will help your problem.

If #1 didn't improve the fonts, you may not have gotten all of the
fonts.  On the server, run `chkfontpath`; this will list of the "font
paths" your server's X Font Server is using.  You need to copy all of
these directories to /opt/ltsp/i386/...
