Addressing the middle part (reducing the fonts needed by xterm for UTF-8 mode) is stickier since there are probably places where xterm loads a font to check on its size. Some of that can be deferred - needs some investigation.
I found this: If the CHARSET_ENCODING contains a "[" (LEFT SQUARE BRACKET), the "[" and the characters after it up to a "]" (RIGHT SQUARE BRACKET) are a subsetting hint telling the font source that the client is interested only in a subset of the characters of the font. The font source can, optionally, return a font that contains only those characters or any superset of those characters. The client can expect to obtain valid glyphs and metrics only for those characters, and not for any other characters in the font. The font properties may optionally be calculated by considering only the characters in the subset. <URL: file:///usr/share/doc/xorg-docs/specs/XLFD/xlfd.html#fontname_field_definitions
