What could be missing?

NEdit works perfectly well within my full installation of Slackware,
on my main PC.
I also have a trimmed down install of the same Slackware version,
which I use on an old laptop. The problem is, NEdit is malfunctioning
on the latter, obviously because of something missing there, showing a
text size so ridiculously small that is illegible, and also the menus'
text is disruptured/misplaced with buttons that are not reachable at
the location where they seem to be on the screen.
It is not a font selection problem, as the fonts NEdit is using on the
main installation are also available on the minimalist one and those
fonts are listed the same way in both under Preferences -> Default
Settings -> Text Fonts.
My question is, what missing component could be possibly causing this?
Once I know, the fix will be simply copying that component from the
main PC to the laptop.
