Am I to understand, then, that the second system displays its Oracle reports 
on the main system's display?  If so, then any X server that might be running 
on the second system is irrelevant.  In which case, I don't see how the font 
size of the reports could differ.

Otherwise, please post the relevant X server logs (/var/log/XFree86.0.log).
