Can I do something like edit /etc/x2go/x2goagent.options and add -fp catalogue:/etc/X11/fontpath.d,built-ins as an option? (On both source and target systems).
I tried that and x2go dies when starting the remote session, but I did discover that I can manually
Looking at the source I cannot find any reference to the string "catalogue", so it is obvious that nx 3.5.x does not support that. BUT: the upcoming nx 3.6.x uses all the Xorg libraries (except one) from the installed system instead of bringing its own (old) versions of the according libs. And in the current source of libXfont I can find the string.
So you should try to use the current development version and build an according rpm. Clone from here https://github.com/ArcticaProject/nx-libs and run rpmbuild -ba nx-libs.spec.
expand the path into a list of directories and I do get additional fonts that way, so to get the terminus font I really need to be able to see characters in emacs on a 4K monitor, adding this to /etc/x2go/x2goagent.options seems to work:
X2GO_NXAGENT_DEFAULT_OPTIONS+=" -fp /usr/share/X11/fonts/misc/,/usr/share/X11/fonts/75dpi/,/usr/share/X11/fonts/100dpi/,/usr/share/fonts/terminus/"
If there were other fonts I needed, I assume I could add them to the list as well.
I am currently unsure where the x2go font path comes from. Maybe the font setting stuff should be improved in x2go.
