I've solved the issue thank you to the alt.os.linux.mandrake newsgroup.
The trick was by-passing the font-detecting code by Corel & stablish who
is the FontTastic server on the script.

Here's what I did:

I modified the  if ... then ... fi (a very long section) here:

# Add FontTastic font server to the font path.
# Font server is assumed to run on the same host as the X display.
xset q | grep 'tcp/.*:7102' >/dev/null
if [ $? -ne 0 ]
then

(... very long ...)

    fi
  fi
fi

so now it looks like this:

# Add FontTastic font server to the font path.
# Font server is assumed to run on the same host as the X display.
xset q | grep 'tcp/.*:7102' >/dev/null
if [ $? -ne 0 ]
then
        xset fp+ tcp/192.168.1.1:7102 2>/dev/null
fi


192.168.1.1 is the LTSP server.

I made sure that FonTastic font server was running and that's all.


WO20004LNX works remotely as well as it could work locally.
