I don't know how to fix this problem.
In the past, I just copied the Fonts directory to the computer where the X server was running and added it into the font search path:
xset fp+ /usr/local/mathematica/SystemFiles/Fonts/X xset fp+ /usr/local/mathematica/SystemFiles/Fonts/Type1
This somehow worked for Mathematica 4.2.1 on SuSE Linux 8.2. (Now I mostly use Mathematica 5.0 on SUSE Linux 9.0 locally.)

Note that there are two different issues. One is that MMA gives the "Startup Error: The mathematica fonts are not properly installed on your system..." dialog. This error is annoying, but doesn't adversely affect the operation of MMA. It can be fixed by following these instructions: http://support.wolfram.com/mathematica/systems/linux/interface/fonterrors.ht... However, the problem that I am experiencing relates only to the failure of the MMA fonts to properly display on a remote X display. This problem remains unresolved. Hopefully I will get some response from Wolfram on the matter, in which case I can report the fix here. Unless someone on the list can offer a solution before that.
