I saw you have been given various answers about the missing fonts, but what
I think you need to do is to TURN OFF the "num-lock" key. Then both the
keyboard and the mouse pointer will work as expected. I do so every time I
use Mathematica under Linux, and I think it has nothing to do with the
missing fonts because on my system those fonts are still missing :-)), while
the "small rectangle" does not appear.
The same question already appeared before on this list, by the way...
Best regards,
Marko
