Hi I have exactly the same issue. While connecting through ssh on a remote Linux server, most Java related screens come up with scrambled fonts. I have tested the same on a Vbox running Ubuntu mate and it works fine.
I have gone through some display driver settings and I have found a workaround: Enabled uxa for my display driver: Option "AccelMethod" "uxa" Then rebooted and all java fonts displayed correctly. The above workaround though decreases graphics performance so I reverted back to the original graphics settings. My setup is: Lenovo T450 IntelĀ® HD Graphics 5500 (Broadwell GT2) Running Ubuntu LTS 14.04 (Unity) I have also tested 15.05 and 15.10 but no change. I am waiting for 16.04 to come out and try it again. I'm not uploading screens since I have exactly the same issue as gianluca (I tried weblogic installation too ) Strange thing is that, when I start for example the weblogic installer locally (not through SSH), graphics and fonts are fine.... So it seems the SSH connections (-X or -Y tried both even with different ciphers) have an issue.

This is what I do step by step: 1- ssh -X user@customerserver 2- xclok <- it works well 3- /export/appl-data/oracle/jdk1.7.0_45/bin/java -d64 -jar weblogic.jar 4- The X Java application starts but the fonts are "invisible" s you can see in the screenshot in attach. I don't think is a server issue but an Ubuntu issue because it works fine from fedora and windows 7 with Xming The server Java version is this: /export/appl-data/oracle/jdk1.7.0_45/bin/java -version java version "1.7.0_45" Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_45-b18) Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 24.45-b08, mixed mode) The server os is this: [user@customerserver bin]$ uname -a Linux customerserver 2.6.39-400.214.5.1.el6uek.x86_64 #1 SMP Fri May 30 16:43:43 PDT 2014 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux The server env is this: [user@customerserver bin]$ env HOSTNAME=customerserver TERM=xterm-256color SHELL=/bin/bash HISTSIZE=1000 SSH_CLIENT=10.173.150.18 34230 22 QTDIR=/usr/lib64/qt-3.3 OLDPWD=/export/appl-data/oracle/web/wls10.3.6 QTINC=/usr/lib64/qt-3.3/include SSH_TTY=/dev/pts/0 USER=user LS_COLORS=rs=0:di=38;5;27:ln=38;5;51:mh=44;38;5;15:pi=40;38;5;11:so=38;5;13:do=38;5;5:bd=48;5;232;38;5;11:cd=48;5;232;38;5;3:or=48;5;232;38;5;9:mi=05;48;5;232;38;5;15:su=48;5;196;38;5;15:sg=48;5;11;38;5;16:ca=48;5;196;38;5;226:tw=48;5;10;38;5;16:ow=48;5;10;38;5;21:st=48;5;21;38;5;15:ex=38;5;34:*.tar=38;5;9:*.tgz=38;5;9:*.arj=38;5;9:*.taz=38;5;9:*.lzh=38;5;9:*.lzma=38;5;9:*.tlz=38;5;9:*.txz=38;5;9:*.zip=38;5;9:*.z=38;5;9:*.Z=38;5;9:*.dz=38;5;9:*.gz=38;5;9:*.lz=38;5;9:*.xz=38;5;9:*.bz2=38;5;9:*.tbz=38;5;9:*.tbz2=38;5;9:*.bz=38;5;9:*.tz=38;5;9:*.deb=38;5;9:*.rpm=38;5;9:*.jar=38;5;9:*.rar=38;5;9:*.ace=38;5;9:*.zoo=38;5;9:*.cpio=38;5;9:*.7z=38;5;9:*.rz=38;5;9:*.jpg=38;5;13:*.jpeg=38;5;13:*.gif=38;5;13:*.bmp=38;5;13:*.pbm=38;5;13:*.pgm=38;5;13:*.ppm=38;5;13:*.tga=38;5;13:*.xbm=38;5;13:*.xpm=38;5;13:*.tif=38;5;13:*.tiff=38;5;13:*.png=38;5;13:*.svg=38;5;13:*.svgz=38;5;13:*.mng=38;5;13:*.pcx=38;5;13:*.mov=38;5;13:*.mpg=38;5;13:*.mpeg=38;5;13:*.m2v=38;5;13:*.mkv=38;5;13:*.ogm=38;5;13:*.mp4=38;5;13:*.m4v=38;5;13:*.mp4v=38;5;13:*.vob=38;5;13:*.qt=38;5;13:*.nuv=38;5;13:*.wmv=38;5;13:*.asf=38;5;13:*.rm=38;5;13:*.rmvb=38;5;13:*.flc=38;5;13:*.avi=38;5;13:*.fli=38;5;13:*.flv=38;5;13:*.gl=38;5;13:*.dl=38;5;13:*.xcf=38;5;13:*.xwd=38;5;13:*.yuv=38;5;13:*.cgm=38;5;13:*.emf=38;5;13:*.axv=38;5;13:*.anx=38;5;13:*.ogv=38;5;13:*.ogx=38;5;13:*.aac=38;5;45:*.au=38;5;45:*.flac=38;5;45:*.mid=38;5;45:*.midi=38;5;45:*.mka=38;5;45:*.mp3=38;5;45:*.mpc=38;5;45:*.ogg=38;5;45:*.ra=38;5;45:*.wav=38;5;45:*.axa=38;5;45:*.oga=38;5;45:*.spx=38;5;45:*.xspf=38;5;45: MAIL=/var/spool/mail/user PATH=/usr/lib64/qt-3.3/bin:/usr/local/bin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/home/user/bin PWD=/export/appl-data/oracle/web/wls10.3.6/wlserver_10.3/common/bin JAVA_HOME=/export/appl-data/oracle/jdk1.7.0_45/ LANG=it_IT.UTF-8 HISTCONTROL=ignoredups SHLVL=1 HOME=/home/user LOGNAME=user QTLIB=/usr/lib64/qt-3.3/lib CVS_RSH=ssh SSH_CONNECTION=10.173.150.18 34230 10.25.63.82 22 LESSOPEN=|/usr/bin/lesspipe.sh %s DISPLAY=localhost:10.0 G_BROKEN_FILENAMES=1 _=/bin/env May I give you some other infos?
