Penn State HPC Group has everything written down nicely for us.

Quote:Mathematica requires its own fonts in order to display content correctly. If you are running Mathematica remotely, using an X-server, you will need to install these fonts on your local machine and tell Mathematica where to find them.

Here is the link

Installing Mathematica Fonts in Linux (with root access)
1. First you will need to download Mathematica fonts archive. [search]
2. Untar the Archive to some directory. Make sure X windows is running, and issue the following commands using your favorite terminal program, making sure you are logged in as an administrator:

Code:

mkdir -p /usr/local/mathematica/fonts

mv mathematica-fonts.tgz /usr/local/mathematica/fonts

cd /usr/local/mathematica/fonts

tar -xzvf mathematica-fonts.tgz

rm -f mathematica-fonts.tgz

3. Rebuild the fonts.dir files. Using the same terminal as in the previous step, issue the following commands:

Code:

mkfontdir /usr/local/mathematica/fonts/BDF

mkfontdir /usr/local/mathematica/fonts/Type1

4. Log in to Hammer and run Mathematica, telling Mathematica where to find the fonts:

Code:

ssh -Y <username>@server

mLinux.sh
