In X windows, client and server are sort of opposite.  Not really, but it 
seems that way, because ordinarily you are working on the server.

So client side means whatever machine is sending data to your X server (that 
is, your screen).

Yes, exactly.

#4 is the opposite of #3, obviously.  I have to look up what an anti-aliased 
font means.

A font sent to your machine from another machine, rather than a font residing 
on your machine.

XFree86 is the free version of X used by linux, Free/Net/OpenBSD, etc.
