Trying to run mathematica on a remote server, but instead  you see this error?

bad font path element (#77), possible causes are:
Directory does not exist or has wrong permissions
Directory missing fonts.dir
Incorrect font server address or syntax

Get the required fonts from here

Then follow these steps for linux and these for windows. (windows solution not yet tested)

Hopefully, you are ready to go!

  1. Hi! Thanks for linking to my blog. I just wanted to tell you I moved my blog to handyfloss.net after writing that post, so I would be really gratefull if you could link to the new location of the post:

    http://handyfloss.net/2006.06/mathematica-fonts-error/

    You can visit the post again, and see that I changed it to point to handyfloss.net.

    TIA
