What is the machine you are connecting to ? Is it running a CDE environment ?
I've seen this happen for CDE when not all the needed fonts are available for
the CDE session.
Contact your system adminstrator to see if they have a font server running in
your company.

Thanks for the reply. The machine I'm connecting to is running HP-UX and
yes, CDE. wrt the font server. Is it a matter of me running a font server
on my local machine or having a font server running on the machine I'm
trying to connect to? If they're not running a font server and I'm able to
get them to run one, does the configuration on my local box have to change?
