Known limitations

Although X applications that use the X Toolkit understand these command-line options, some exceptions exist:

You can only specify fonts that your server supplies.
You must have a color screen to use the command-line options that specify color changes.
You must have a valid network connection to display a client on a remote server. X supports several network protocols including TCP/IP.
