[X2Go-Dev] Fedora 32 X2Go 4.1.0.3-6:Could not open default font 'fixed''

[Ulrich Sibiller]

Hi Robert,

I am really surprised. "could not open default font fixed" is a rather
old error message. We have removed that years ago:

commit d981d938dade2967e70322c0bf934efeeb1da716
Author: Mike Gabriel <mike.gabriel at das-netzwerkteam.de>
Date:   Sun Feb 5 17:06:55 2017 +0000

    {dix/,hw/nxagent/NX}dixfont.{c,h}: Support using builtin-fonts.
Makes dependency on X11's misc fonts package obsolete.

(see also https://github.com/ArcticaProject/nx-libs/issues/84)

So what nx package is being used on that system?

If you simply run "nxagent -display :55" on the server (e.g. after
connecting with ssh -X), does that work?
