X Clients Running in a Jail - Fonts render poorly

K

I spent several hours trying to understand why PyCharm rendered fonts fine on my host, but when I would ssh into my jail with port forwarding, PyCharm fonts rendered very poorly. To save someone else the headache I went through, I started this thread.
When connecting:
-X has security checks that -Y does not have. The idea is that if you initiate the connection with -Y, you are telling your jail that your connection can be trusted. You have to be your own judge if this is right for you. Alternatively, you can figure out which security checks are causing the font issue and possibly make whatever configuration changes are required to use -X instead.
