You can run it under strace to see if it's trying to open any freetype
fonts locally.  But since the appearance is different depending on the
X server, chances are it's using server-side fonts.  Comparing the
results of "xlsfonts" on the two X servers might be helpful.

You can also use wireshark to sniff the X protocol traffic and look
for OpenFont requests.
