I restarted xfs on the head node

service xfs restart

I checked my firewall on the head node of the computer clustrer

netstat -nlp | grep 7100
unix 2 [ ACC ] STREAM LISTENING 9788554
5359/xfs /tmp/.font-unix/fs7100

I then logged into the head node from my Mac using "ssh -Y"

As a regular user, my xset path does not contain the Mathematica fonts.
And Mathematica still gives me the "bad font message"

My local computer is a Mac, 10.6.


After doing that did you add the font server to the font path on your Mac? If you don't then your X server doesn't know anything about the font server you've just set up.
