nxagent fails to run with "Could not open default font 'fixed'" #84
Comments
The real work to fix this is backporting this X.org patch: |
… dependency on X11's misc fonts package obsolete. Fixes ArcticaProject#84. Fixes ArcticaProject#285.
… dependency on X11's misc fonts package obsolete.

Reopening, because this doesn't seem to be fixed. Seen with nightly nx-libs versions on a Devuan Jessie system for some odd reason. |

There are still several references to the "fixed" font in the code, e.g. as the default font that is used for font replacement or as the default font that is compiled in:
Also the basic error message is still there:

The 'Could not open default font 'fixed'' still occurs on OpenSuse, x2goserver-x2goagent: 3.5.99.24 (from x2goserver-x2goagent-4.1.0.7-0.0x2go1.0.git20230823.1996.heuler.x86_64 = latest nightly build). |

It really should not happen anymore. 3.5.99.24 is very old, please update
