xset errors when trying to remote x11 from solaris

Hi all,

Trying to achieve:

Remote X11 app (advance trader workstation... really old) from solaris to linux. This app uses a startup script that loads some fonts via xset.

I get an error from xset saying "incorrect font server address or syntax"

Of course its not correct since i'm setting up my display via ssh -Y

xterm, xclock all works well. So does the app on a display connected to the sun workstation.

Not sure if i need to setup a font server on the sun.

If have also transfered the fonts on the linux and loaded them up. That didn't resolve the issue.

If anybody has a similar setup (remote x11 apps with specific fonts). Thanks.
