I do have X installed _on_my_Linux_machine_, but I haven't
managed to get the Macs here in Paris to run a X server
(yet).

Tried this?

Now I have.

Didn't work. There is some kind of font problems that don't
make sense.

I have used the product under NT.  It isn't very stable.  But it works.
The problem is that your apps are looking for fonts that you haven't
installed into the X server on the Mac.  There is a faq for MI/X on their
site, which includes a description of how to add fonts from the linux
system.  It is easier on the Mac I think than in NT.

Another choice is to use VNC instead.  This has the advantage that if the
connection dies, you can pick it up where you left off.

Ciao!
