Dear friends, I am running ubuntu Linux 2.6.8.1-3-386 on a pentium 4 machine. I am trying to get Mathematica run from remote server with uname -a specs as "SunOS apache 5.9 Generic_112233-12 sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun-Fire-880" So , I read all the instructions and download the Type1,BDF and PCG tar.gz files ,then I unpack them into a neat MathFonts directory I created for myself. I then add the following lines to my .bashrc file ##added for mathematica xset fp+ /home/nick/MathFonts/Type1 xset fp+ /home/nick/MathFonts/BDF xset fp+ /home/nick/MathFonts/PCF xset fp rehash I then open a different xterm and do a ssh -X -C hostname_where_mathematica_runs, I login and punch mathematica enthusiastically... I see the Mathematica splash-screen coming on my local machine..coool... and then Mathematica complains that it can't find the needed fonts...too bad :( , i say continue..Mathematica says it can't find Math1 fonts and then defaults to courier. So friends , where am i going wrong?? I have tried to read all the related posts and stuff on the internet , but everything seems to be in accordance. Any tips would be heartly appreciated! -Nick
