Distorted fonts on remote X session

[Maarten Sanders]

Hi,

I have openoffice installed from a package (1.1.5.rc4) an this works
fine on my workstation. Since my wifes laptop is getting slugish I have
setup a remote X over ssh environment. On the laptop's X I serve
gnome-session from my workstation. All apllications run fine except
openoffice. For some reason the fonts are like there are extra spaces
between the characters (looks a bit like when you visit some websites in
Japan).
I installed xfs on my workstation and the laptop uses the fontserver but
even then to no avail. Also I chose in the OO options menu to use system
fonts but also this doesn't help.

Anyone an idea how to proceed?
