By default ssh does not allow X forwarding.  You need to use an extra
option to ssh to allow X programs on the remote to work on your (local)
X-server.

A quick test is to run  "xfd"  If it runs and tells you no "no font to
display" you can run X programs (like pinentry-gtk) on the remote box.

If you do not fully trust the remote machine (and only then you should
use X forwarding), you may still use gpg/gpgsm on the remote box:  See
