On the system showing arrows, rmt says,

    tkremind: font actual TkDefaultFont
    -family {DejaVu Sans} -size 10 -weight normal -slant roman -underline 0 -overstrike 0

On the system showing rectangles,

    tkremind: font actual TkDefaultFont
    -family {DejaVu Sans} -size 10 -weight normal -slant roman -underline 0 -overstrike 0

Those are the same.  Weird.
