[X2Go-User] Adding old style fonts to X server?

I use x2go frequently between my fedora linux
system at work and my near identical fedora
linux system at home. When using X directly
on both systems I get a font path like:

Font Path:
  catalogue:/etc/X11/fontpath.d,built-ins

And the /etc/X11/fontpath.d directory has lots
of symlinks to various font directories (with most
of the same fonts installed on both systems).

When using x2go, I see the font path is much
stupider. Including explicit paths to just
the misc, 100dpi, and 75dpi font directories.

What the heck is the bast way to fix this so
old X programs will see all the same fonts
I get when I run native?

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).
