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? -Stefan
