That is, I have a custom made somewhat old application that uses some fonts that x2go doesn't have (even if I install all fonts). When I use the commercial XServer Exceed, then the fonts are displayed correctly, X2Go uses some other fonts instead of the required ones. How can I add the required fonts to X2Go that I have in the other X-Server? I already tryed to copy over the font files to x2go's internal vcxsrv/fonts/... directory, but the xlsfonts command didn't show the new fonts. Any idea? Some hints to install new fonts?
Hmm, on Linux, you have to refresh the font cache/font index after installing new fonts. No idea how that works with VcXsrv thought. Pinging Mike#2 ...

- I am not an expert on this, but I have never needed to run any sort of refresh fonts command. When I encountered a missing font issue, or other users did, merely installing the additional fonts on the Windows client fixed the issue. IIRC, this did not fix font issues 100% of the time though.
- Remember that during the X2Go client for Windows install, there are 4 sets of fonts. Did you install all of them? If not, please try that.
- Please test out VcXsrv by itself (X2Go not being used) against the application server with the fonts selected during the VcXsrv install. Test both X2Go Client's current version: https://github.com/ArcticaProject/vcxsrv/releases/tag/1.17.0.0-3 And the upstream version: https://sourceforge.net/projects/vcxsrv/ Please let us know if it fixes it.
If neither #2 nor #3 fixes it, then there are other things we can try.
