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
Intel® 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.

Thanks

Andreas
