Can you be a bit more specific about the nature of the remote host with applications which have this problem? Have you seen the applications render their fonts correctly on other remote X servers?
I installed the X server package on the remote machine and that solved the problem. It's pretty silly, as the remote machine might not even have a physical screen attached, but it solved the problem. I assume because the X application I'm running uses fonts from a local source I guess?
I don't understand this fully. I've red somewhere that X applications use a font server. Do they connect to this font server over the same connection as the X server? Thus, if I use a putty X tunnel, does that tunnel provide a path to the font server as well?
