Hi David,
For what it's worth, I performed my test with tightvncserver, rather than
vnc4server. For window manager I was using xfce locally, and had trouble
launching another xfce during vncserver session initialization ("there is
an instance already running") so I just tested without any running window
manager. And the ImageJ text painted as expected in the client.
Other things you could try testing:
* Try plain ImageJ 1.x from
https://imagej.net/ij/download.html* Try tightnvcserver instead of vnc4server
* Write a couple of very simple Java UI apps using java.awt and javax.swing
and see if those also suffer from the issue
Sorry I can't be more helpful. It would be great if others who use Fiji
over VNC could do some more exploration and testing to gather more
information.
I filed an issue on GitHub to keep track of this problem and center future
discussion:

Curtis
