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. -Mike#2
