Subject: Missing fonts in X application
Date: Wed, 23 Jan 2013 09:53:55 +0100
Package: x2goclient

Setup: X2go server on Ubuntu 12.10, client on Win7

Issue: One of our CAD application displays unreadable text. When trying
to select another font, only one is available. xlsfonts also reports only a
few fonts. The application works fine locallyor when using a Linux X2go 
client
and xlsfonts shows a long list of fonts.

How to solve: Install the 'font' directory from the VcXsrv mainline package.
After that, the application shows readable text and provides a large 
selection
of alternative fonts.

I think it would be good to bring the Windows and Linux client closer by 
shipping
a more complete VcXsrv with it or at least offering the option.

This reminds me of an issue with NoMachine's NX Client.  I'm not sure if 
they still do so, but they used to offer separate font packages for 
download on the same page as their Windows client.  The note next to 
them said that you'd only need them for really old X applications that 
require client-side fonts; all modern applications would use server-side 
fonts and work fine without these extra packages.

Out of curiosity, how old is your application?  Maybe there is a way to 
make it work with server-side fonts?

Hi Stephane, I'm the new Win32 package maintainer for X2Go Client.

I see that you worked around this issue by copying over VcXsrv's fonts folder:
https://lists.berlios.de/pipermail/x2go-user/2013-January/001253.html

I've experienced this bug too with ClearCase 8.0.0's "xclearcase" GUI.
It is a very old UNIX/Linux GUI and it uses motif.

My successful workaround was to both install a bunch of fonts packages
server-side (including international fonts,) and to copy over the
fonts directory.

Still, I believe that we should take the same approach that NX did and
provide a seperate setup.exe containing the extra fonts. Unless there
are any objections, that will officially be on my to do list as the
win32 package maintainer.

Note that I do not want to include the fonts in the main X2Go Client
setup.exe because:
1. They are 4,673 files, which would add a lot to the installation time
2. They are 32MB compressed with 7-zip, so they would add that much
space or more. (X2goclient 4.0.1.3's setup .exe is only 23MB).

For reference to others who need to copy fonts:
- X2Go Client 4.0.0.3 uses VcXsrv 1.12.0.1
- X2Go Client 4.0.1.2 and 4.0.1.3 use VcXsrv 1.14.2.1.

Wouldn't the best approach be a .git project on git.x2go.org that  
includes the fonts and two nsis scripts (one for PyHoca, one for X2Go  
Client)?

Yes, I agree. But as long as PyHoca and X2Go Client use separate
VcXsrv versions, I will use 2 fonts directories. Note that the fonts
dirs do actually differ between VcXsrv releases.

Subject: Question
Date: Fri, 11 Apr 2014 09:05:14 -0400
I intend to fix this bug soon, but 1st I am hoping someone knows the
answer to this question:

How does VcXsrv even work when there are no fonts installed?

I read this in a user review of VcXsrv on sf.net by user ausback:
VcXsrv comes with fonts that render the screen exactly as it is
rendered by the native Xorg server. Xming used Windows XP fonts which
looked pretty good but weren't the right size. Overall, I rate VcXsrv
vastly superior to Xming.

So presumably, VcXsrv uses the Windows XP/vista/7/etc fonts when its
own fonts are not installed.

I forgot to mention this earlier.

I created separate builds of X2Go Client 4.0.2.0 with the fonts:
http://wiki.x2go.org/doku.php/doc:release-notes-mswin:x2goclient-4.0.2.0#available_builds

This is probably just going to be a temporary measure, so I am not
marking this bug resolved yet.

Hi Mike#2,

can we close bug #108 meanwhile? There are these X2Go Client builds  
with the misc fonts included.

How is the exact status of that nowadays?

Thanks for feedback!

Hi Mike#2,

I have not had much time to work on this. I have been thinking about it though.

1. Regardless of the rest of what we decide, do not close this bug
until is is more obvious about the different builds being available.
Please provide feedback to the email thread: "How to handle the
different Windows builds"
http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.terminal-server.x2go.devel/7158
And notice that I created a "non-default-builds" subfolder for 4.0.2.1 previews:
http://code.x2go.org/releases/binary-win32/x2goclient/previews/4.0.2.1/
And I think the home page should be updated to link to the latest
stable folder (.e.g, releases/4.0.2.1/, not
releases/4.0.2.1/non-default-builds/) . And this will solve the
problem of people reporting to us that they installed
"X2GoClient_latest_mswin32-setup.exe"

2. The separate X2Go builds are a temporary fix. Having 3 separate
builds (before factoring in the debug build) are adding a lot more
work for me. I never intended to close this bug with only them
available.

3. I supposed we could close this bug and open a new bug report for a
better/permanent fix. Or clone this bug for a better/permanent fix.
I'll leave which approach to take to your judgment.

4. When I get more free time, I'll do the following for a better/permanent fix:

a. Determine why the fonts are needed by some Linux applications, but
not others.
b. Determine what the default should be (I am leaning towards the
"misc" set. Empirically, it solves the compatibility problems for most
people, if not everyone. The "full" set makes the installer take much
longer and adds lots more files to the filesystem, so I'd rather not
make that the default.)
c. I'll probably integrate them into the regular installer as an
optional component, instead of putting them in a separate installer.
This means that the installer will be 48.5 MB in size with solid lzma
compression (compared to 56.0 MB with zlib compression.) However, in
2014, I think that 48.5 MB is reasonable.

Do not expect the permanent fix to arrive in time for 4.0.2.1.

-Mike

How about this:

We set up a new X2Go subproject called

  x2go-xfonts.git

This subproject contains _all_ extra fonts and mainly is an NSIS installer.

This installer can be used to install those extra fonts into the  
correct directory for X2Go Client _and_ for PyHoca-GUI.

The user/admin can install if he/she wants to install the fonts at  
both locations (%ProgramFiles%\x2golient, %ProgramFiles%\PyHoca-GUI)  
or only at one of them.

The X2Go Client setup.exe should remain rather minimal IMHO.

Absolutely fine!

As Mike#1 and agreed on IRC, I will put the fonts in the X2Go Client
installer as an optional component. These are the reasons:

1. Windows does not have a proper dependency system. So you can remove
x2goclient or pyhoca-gui without removing the fonts.
2. I have to maintain the mapping between x2goclient/pyhoca-gui
versions and the font package versions. This is because the fonts do
change with different VcXsrv releases
3. Users expect "all the dependencies and optional components" to be
in 1 installer on Windows. In fact, that is the recommendation for
Windows.

Also, we will close this bug once the fonts are in the X2Go Client installer.

I've determined why the fonts are needed by some Linux applications, but
not others.

Jon TURNEY from the Cygwin X11 project gave a very good overview:
https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-xfree/2014-07/threads.html#00002

Nomachine also had a very good explanation:
http://web.archive.org/web/20100323142457/http://www.nomachine.com/download-client-windows.php

The question is then what should the default be? misc only? or 75dpi,
100dpi, and misc?

misc is 412 files at 6.80 MB (7.94 MB on disk)
75dpi is 1,897 files at 10.7 MB (15.6 MB on disk)
100dpi is 1,897 files at 12.3 MB (16.8 MB on disk)
everything else is 466 files at 12.8MB (13.8 MB on disk)

I am leaning towards default to only misc, and then having separate
options for 75dpi, 100dpi, and for everything else.

   [ Mike DePaulo ]
   * New upstream release (4.0.2.1):
+    - Windows: Install VcXsrv "misc" fonts by default, and make all 4 font
+      groups optional: misc, 75dpi, 100dpi and others (Fixes: #108)
+      Note: The fact that all the fonts are included makes the installer about
+      30MB larger. (See next comment, it would be even larger.)
+    - Windows: Reduce the new size of NSIS installer by several MB
+      by switching to lzma solid compression
+    - Windows: Make the desktop shortcut optional during install,
+      but still the default.
     - Windows: Prevent high PulseAudio CPU usage on Windows XP by lowering
       PulseAudio's CPU priority from "high" to "normal" on XP specifically.
       Also do so on Windows Server 2003 (R2) (Fixes #526)
     - Windows: Enable PulseAudio log when --debug is passed.
     - Windows: Fix compatibility with current PulseAudio master branch
-    - Windows: Reduce size of NSIS installer by switching to lzma solid compression
     - Windows: cygwin packages (inluding patched OpenSSH 6.6.1p1-3) updated from
       latest versions as of 2014-04-08 to latest versions as of 2014-06-09. This
       includes openssl 1.0.1h-1, which fixes the 6 CVEs announced on 2014-06-05.

It does not appear to me that this fix got into v4.0.2.1.  Am I wrong?

Thanks!

Correct. This is a large change to the installer, so it was pushed
back to 4.0.3.0.

(In fact, it introduced a regression. It was reported to me by email,
so I committed the fix without a bug reported having been filed:
http://code.x2go.org/gitweb?p=x2goclient.git;a=commit;h=8262012db3f79331b798d08d021f65a55c9b8832
)

Sorry for the confusion.

I will now try to update the bug report now so that it does not say
"Fixed in version 4.0.2.1"

X2Go Component: src:x2goclient
Version: 4.0.3.0-0x2go1
Status: RELEASE
Date: Tue, 21 Oct 2014 12:38:56 +0200
Fixes: 108 159 253 258 336 474 522 525 566 568 571 580 587 590 597 603 607 608 609 612 636
Changes: 
 x2goclient (4.0.3.0-0x2go1) RELEASED; urgency=low
 .
   [ Mike Gabriel ]
   * New upstream release (4.0.3.0):
     - Disallow server-side users to override X2Go Server commands via
       ~/bin (or similar). (Fixes: #336).
     - Avoid unitialised variables on early calls of ONMainWindow::closeEvent()
       or ONMainWindow::closeClient(). (Fixes: #253).
     - Update translation files. Add empty Portuguese translation. Update
       qt_<lang>.qm files from Debian unstable as of today.
     - Update German translation file (after session folder feature got added).
     - Makefile.man2html: Test if man2html exists. If not, don't fail.
     - Honor exports (client-side shared folders) from broker session profiles.
       Thanks to Ming Song for providing a patch for this (Fixes: 612).
   * debian/control:
     + Add B-D: apache2-dev. On squeeze / lucid builds, this is a superfluous
       B-D, but for later Debian/Ubuntu versions, this smoothes the installation
       of the x2goplugin-provide bin:package.
     + Update B-D: apache2-dev | libc6-dev. The apache2-dev package does not
       exist on all Debian/Ubuntu versions.
   * x2goclient.spec:
     + Adapt to building for openSUSE/SLES.
     + openSUSE: Make Qt4 Linguist tools available for Makefile.
     + Upgrade versioned BR for libssh-devel (0.6.3 or patched 0.5.5).
     + The libqt4-linguist split off happened in openSUSE 13.1.
     + Add x2goclient-rpmlintrc file.
     + In openSUSE, it is openldap2-devel, in Fedora/RHEL it is openldap-devel.
     + In openSUSE, openssh is openssh (not openssh-clients / openssh-server).
 .
   [ Oleksandr Shneyder ]
   * New upstream release (4.0.3.0):
     - Fix running x2goclient without arguments on Windows. (Fixes: #522).
     - Save proxy output in $HOME/S-$SESSION-ID/session.log if debugging is
       enabled.
     - Fork x2goclient on windows and terminate child processes if X2Go Client
       crashed. (Fixes: #159).
     - Add "clipboard" parameter to session profile and to command line options.
       (Fixes: #258).
     - Replace qCritical() with printError() by argument parsing.
     - Update translation files.
     - Update russian translation.
     - Update string "&Clipboard Mode" and translate in russian translation file.
     - Grammar fix in russian translation.
     - Add x2gohelper to start X2Go Client on Windows and clean child processes
       if X2Go Client crashes. (Fixes: #525).
     - On Windows rename x2goclient.exe to x2goclient-mainprocess.exe and
       x2gohelper.exe to x2goclient.exe.
     - Start x2gohelper from X2Go Client. Revert name changing of X2Go Client and
       x2gohelper.
     - Add Makefile for x2gohelper.
     - Add support for sessions folders.
     - Add folder explorer: a GUI to manage of session subfolders.
     - Support for sessions subfolders in sessionmanagedialog.
     - Session name autocompletion only for sessions in current folder.

     - Include <QDir> in sessionexplorer.cpp.
     - Remove deprecated workaround in wapi.cpp.
     - Save folder icons Base64 coded. Save icons under General\icon_<PATH>.
       (Fixes: #580).
     - Fix placing sessions folders in broker mode.
     - Fix onmainwindow.cpp after 76ae96781f1d2d5754ee4751539d5de47f1d0297.

 .
   [ Mike DePaulo ]
   * New upstream release (4.0.3.0):
     - Make X2Go Client aware of the Cinnamon (CINNAMON) desktop environment.
       (Fixes: #571)
     - Make X2Go Client aware of the Trinity (TRINITY) desktop environment.
       (Fixes: #609)
     - Make X2Go Client aware of the Openbox (OPENBOX) window manager.
       (Fixes: #607)
     - Make X2Go Client aware of the IceWM (ICEWM) window manager.
       (Fixes: #608)
     - Windows: Fix not being able to add the server to the known_hosts file when
       the username has non-English characters. (Fixes: #566)
       (NOTE: This fix only works when the non-English characters are in the same
       language as the Windows "system locale" AKA "Language for non-Unicode
       programs." Bug #611 was written for fixing the issue for languages other
       than the system locale.)
       Thanks George Trakatelis (uom.edu.gr) for submitting part of this fix.
     - Windows: Install VcXsrv "misc" fonts by default, and make all 4 font
       groups optional: misc, 75dpi, 100dpi and others (Fixes: #108)
       Note: The fact that all the fonts are included makes the installer about
       30MB larger.
     - Windows: Bundle new version of VcXsrv: 1.15.2.1-xp+vc2013+x2go1
       This new version is based on upstream VcXsrv 1.15.2.0, but still
       compatible with Windows XP. It also has its bundled OpenSSL updated to
       1.0.1j. It is compiled with Microsoft Visual C++ 2013 and contains 1
       X2Go-specific change, winmultiwindow.patch. This patch fixes an issue
       when resizing the NX-proxy window on specific multiple monitor setups.
       (Thanks Oleksandr Shneyder for the patch) (Fixes: #568) (Fixes: #594)
     - Windows: Port from MinGW 4.4 + Qt 4.8.5 to MinGW 4.8.2 + Qt 4.8.6,
       including fix for QTBUG-38706 (Fixes: #474, #603)
     - Windows: Fix missing VcXsrv/zlib1.dll . The impact of this bug was that
       VcXsrv would not start if the cwd was changed from the x2goclient
       directory. (The start menu and desktop shortcuts do have the x2goclient
       directory as the cwd. So they were not affected.) (Fixes: #587)
     - Windows: Make the desktop shortcut optional during install,
       but still the default.
     - Windows: Upgrade libssh from 0.5.5 to 0.6.3. This fixes connecting to
       hpn-enabled SSH servers. The Pageant support patch from the KDE Windows
       project was ported to 0.6.3 by myself and Mike Frederick.
       (Gmail: psududemike) (Fixes: #590)
     - Windows: Win32 OpenSSL updated from 1.0.1h to 1.0.1j, which fixes the
       CVEs announced on 2014-08-06 & 2014-10-15.
     - Windows: Replace Cygwin Bash (sh.exe) with Cygwin Dash (ash.exe renamed
       to sh.exe). This also means fewer Cygwin .DLLs are bundled.
       (Fixes: #636)
     - Windows: cygwin packages (excluding OpenSSH, which is at the patched
       version of 6.6.1p1-3-x2go1) updated from latest versions as of 2014-06-09
       to latest versions as of 2014-10-18. This includes openssl 1.0.1j-1, which
       fixes the CVEs announced on 2014-08-06 & 2014-10.15.
       (Cygwin openssl was also individually updated in 4.0.2.1+hotfix1+build2,
       but only to 1.0.1i-1.)
     - Windows: Build nxproxy.exe with Cygwin's libpng 1.5.x rather than 1.2.x.
       (This may improve performance when PNG compression is selected.)
     - Windows: Build cygwin openssh without krb5 or tcp_wrappers support because
       X2Go Client for Windows does not use either feature.
       (On Windows, Kerberos 5 (GSSAPI) support is provided by PuTTY.)
     - Windows: Fix text not being rendered properly at end of NSIS installer
       (Fixes: #597)
