Thats why I have a remote shell tool from a graphical laptop. Only time I would ever be local to the box is when I broke the network, and then I wouldn't be bothering with some font rpm in an odd local. I'd be fixing the network so that I could leave the cold data center and get back to my desk to do real work.
If the non-ASCII-named packages are just fonts (and other locale- specific data), I don't see a big problem. The problem is if we get other packages that you might actually need to "bother with" from a console.
