Have you verified that the remote host is actually running a font server?
Take a look at /tmp/XWin.log for error messages pertaining to the font path.
Try running a local xterm and entering "xset fp+ <remote font path>" instead of using the "-fp" command-line option.

I have more information related to my problem. I hope that this will make my problem more obvious...
When I run gnome-terminal from a standard terminal I get:
BEGIN OUTPUT ------------
** (gnome-terminal:161): WARNING **: Cannot load font for XLFD '-bitstream-courier-medium-r-normal--14-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1

** (gnome_segv:162): WARNING **: Cannot load font for XLFD '-adobe-helvetica-medium-r-normal--10-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1
---------- END OUTPUT
I guess that the problem comes from "the missing fonts", it says: Failed to load any required font, so crash will occur..check X11 font pathes and etc/pangox.alias file.
Is there any way I can fix that? By the way, I use the -fp option for Xwin (Font server).
