Hi Steve,
I cannot reproduce your problem on my Linux machine.
I connected via the root daemon to your file at FNAL (nice test
of the Root remote access via TNetFile by the way) and followed your
sequence of commands. (your file was in fact in the tmp directory!).

Fons is telling me that our current development version (2.21/04) has
a change in the class TGX11TTF that could have fixed this problem.
This version will appear shortly on the Web.
