Do I have to change any X11 settings or any > other settings within mathematica? I can't help you about your mac, but your X11 server needs the mathematica fonts. There are two ways to accomplish this: 1) Install the mathematica fonts (to be found in the directory mathematica/SystemFiles/Fonts/*) on your local X11 server. 2) Start an font server on the reomte host, which serves the matheatica fonts, and instruct your local X11 server to connect to this font server. Under Unix (Linux) the name of the font server is called "xfs", and the command to add the remote font server to your local search list for fonts is "xset". -- +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ I Dr. Olaf Rogalsky Institut f.
