Thanks Phillip!

emptying the folder ~/.TeXmacs did the trick!

If Miguel's tip is not enough, you can also simply wipe your personal
settings texmacs settings folder (~/.TeXmacs). It happened to me already
that it had become corrupted (in particular the "system/interactive.scm"
file) and in that case reinstalling the program itself would not even solve
that. Of course backup any valuable file or settings you may have set there!

braces.. \box, etc). I don't know if this is related or not.

IMHO it's highly unprobable it's related to the above issue.
Anyway the rendering should be the same, unless

-you use non-default fonts (fonts not provided by texmacs) that are local to
your respective systems,
-or you have version numbers that differ (too much) on the two machines. In
that case, it might resolve by upgrading.

If neither of these is true, please file a bug report with a short file that
displays the issue so that we can have a chance to look at it.
