<html><head></head><body><div style="font-family: Verdana;font-size: 12.0px;"><div>Hi all,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>we want to use x2go for a custom application that requires additional fonts.</div>
<div>We installed the x2go-server on a CentOS 7 machine from EPEL repository and the x2go-client on Windows 7 (32-bit).</div>
<div>When starting a session with xterm as application, that works as expected. But when starting a session with our custom application, it complains about not finding the fonts.</div>
<div>We realized that in the x2go session, the font path as reported by "xset -q" is:</div>
<div>Font Path:<br/>
/usr/share/X11/fonts/misc/</div>
<div> </div>
<div>But when opening a PuTTY session with X11 forwarding the font path as reported by "xset -q" is:</div>
<div>Font Path:<br/>
fonts/misc/,fonts/TTF/,fonts/OTF,fonts/Type1/,fonts/100dpi/,fonts/75dpi/,fonts/cyrillic/,fonts/Speedo/,fonts/terminus-font/,built-ins</div>
<div> </div>
<div>For the latter case, we used VcXsrv as X server on the Windows PC, an our custom application works.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>It seems that X11 forwarding in PuTTY uses the font directories of the X server on the Windows PC, but x2go uses the font path on the x2go-server (CentOS machine).</div>
<div>How can we change this behaviour? Setting font path with e.g "xset fp+ fonts/100dpi/" returns:<br/>
xset: bad font path element (#97), possible causes are:<br/>
Directory does not exist or has wrong permissions<br/>
Directory missing fonts.dir<br/>
Incorrect font server address or syntax</div>
<div> </div>
<div>regards, Ralph</div></div></body></html>
