I have run into two cases where applications work using traditional UNIX/Linux
workstations, but not with the Sun Ray. Here's a brief description:
A user does an ssh -X to a remote server and runs an HP OpenView Motif-based
application. On the Sun Ray, the application complains that it can't locate
the correct font, and exits. Using Exceed from a PC or ssh -X from a SuSE
Linux workstation, the application works as expected.
I don't know anything about Exceed, but ssh -X is using your *local* X
server (and connecting to it from the remote (Sun Ray) server), whereas
Sun Ray clients use the Sun Ray server's X server and rendering over the
network.
Fonts must be local to the server. So it sounds like this app wants to
use fonts which you have on whatever server you're running ssh (or
Exceed) from, but which are not present on your Sun Ray server.
What OS are you running SRSS on? Perhaps you can somehow influence the
fonts the application wants to use either via a fontpath or explicit
resource setting to choose a font which is available on the SR server.
For the other issue, the user also does an ssh -X to a different remote server
and launches a Java application - a third-party application from a small
specialty software provider called "Mercator". When the application launches,
the display is garbled and the Sun Ray server CPU pegs. Again, if the application
is launched from a UNIX/Linux workstation or Exceed session, it works fine.
See above. This sounds like a similar situation, but in reverse.

I realize there isn't any real data here to go on, but I was just curious if
anyone has seen anything like this. To me, it makes no sense at all, as I
assume that the entire X environment was on the remote server and all that is
being used locally (on the Sun Ray server) is the DISPLAY.
Thanks,
Bill
