This is weird. Normally you should have more than "built-ins", see below.

If you run xset q inside the x2go session you will see the settings of
x2go's X server (x2goagent/nxagent). That one is running on the Linux
side, so you must use Linux paths there:

>   xset fp /usr/share/fonts/75dpi/,/usr/share/fonts/misc/,built-ins

To check the font settings of the Vcxsrv.exe you have two options:
- check the logfile (I am not sure if that is always created; cannot
check right now)
- run xset q against the vcxsrv's display

nxagent uses these defaults if no fontpath is specified (using -fp) on startup:

#define NXAGENT_DEFAULT_FONT_DIR      "/usr/share/nx/fonts"
#define NXAGENT_ALTERNATE_FONT_DIR    "/usr/share/X11/fonts"
#define NXAGENT_ALTERNATE_FONT_DIR_2  "/usr/share/fonts/X11"
#define NXAGENT_ALTERNATE_FONT_DIR_3  "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts"

#define NXAGENT_DEFAULT_FONT_PATH  \
"/usr/share/nx/fonts/misc/,/usr/share/nx/fonts/Speedo/,\
/usr/share/nx/fonts/Type1/,/usr/share/nx/fonts/75dpi/,\
/usr/share/nx/fonts/100dpi/,/usr/share/nx/fonts/TTF/"

#define NXAGENT_ALTERNATE_FONT_PATH  \
"/usr/share/X11/fonts/misc/,/usr/share/X11/fonts/Speedo/,\
/usr/share/X11/fonts/Type1/,/usr/share/X11/fonts/75dpi/,\
/usr/share/X11/fonts/100dpi/,/usr/share/X11/fonts/TTF/"

#define NXAGENT_ALTERNATE_FONT_PATH_2  \
"/usr/share/fonts/X11/misc/,/usr/share/fonts/X11/Speedo/,\
/usr/share/fonts/X11/Type1/,/usr/share/fonts/X11/75dpi/,\
/usr/share/fonts/X11/100dpi/,/usr/share/fonts/X11/TTF/"

#define NXAGENT_ALTERNATE_FONT_PATH_3  \
"/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc/,/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Speedo/,\
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1/,/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi/,\
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi/,/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TTF/"

Nxagent will check if the four FONT_DIRS exist. For any existing dir
it will add the corresponding path to the fontpath.
Finally it will append ",.built-ins".

If you fontpath inside the session if only "built-ins" none of the
mentioned dirs is existing on your server. Can you please verify?

Now the question: where's you special font located? What does xset q
report if you just open a simple session with an xterm and nothing
else? What does it report for a full session (before applying your
fix)?.
