font path not set correctly
After setting up a new remote x2go instance (using Devuan), the font path was set to
/usr/share/fonts/X11/Type1,/usr/share/fonts/X11/75dpi,/usr/share/fonts/X11/100dpi,built-ins
which was missing (xterm complained) /usr/share/fonts/X11/misc. Comparing wirth the old instance, it showed that a symlink from /usr/share/nx/fonts to /usr/share/fonts/X11 was missing. Creating this (and restarting) made the font path change to
/usr/share/nx/fonts/misc/,/usr/share/nx/fonts/Type1/,/usr/share/nx/fonts/75dpi/,/usr/share/nx/fonts/100dpi/,/usr/share/fonts/X11/Type1,/usr/share/fonts/X11/75dpi,/usr/share/fonts/X11/100dpi,/usr/share/nx/fonts/Type1,/usr/share/nx/fonts/75dpi,/usr/share/nx/fonts/100dpi,built-ins
which contains the needed elements.
- is this the right way to do this?
- why was the symlink missing? install scripts broken in general, or just failing for me?
- is there some other way to set the (default) font path?
- in the ubuntu bug tracker is a similar issue, see https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/x2goserver/+bug/1891825
- man page says
'The default font path is __default_font_path__'which seems broken - as far as I know, xorg x11 manages to dynamically change the font path with fontconfig. While this may be out of scope for nx, the proper way of changing the default font path, and a restart being needed, should be documented, because expectations of users may be different.
Which manpage are you referring to?

manpage of nxagent - see the Ubuntu bug tracker link. Same issue in my man pages
On my debian (not devuan) system I have a package called nx-X11-common which contains the missing symlink, amongst other stuff:
.
/usr
/usr/share
/usr/share/doc
/usr/share/doc/nx-x11-common
/usr/share/doc/nx-x11-common/changelog.Debian.gz
/usr/share/doc/nx-x11-common/changelog.gz
/usr/share/doc/nx-x11-common/copyright
/usr/share/fonts
/usr/share/fonts/X11
/usr/share/nx
/usr/share/nx/SecurityPolicy
/usr/share/nx/X11
/usr/share/nx/X11/XErrorDB
/usr/share/nx/X11/Xcms.txt
/usr/share/nx/fonts
So can you please check if your package dependencies are working?
On my system, the package doesn't contain the symlink.

So it seems to be an original Debian package (most Devuan packages are) which is broken / incomplete?
Yes, seems so.

I have just build debian packages with current HEAD and which resulted in nx-x11-common including the link. So can you please open a bugreport @debian?
Opened Debian bug https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1006662
I just uploaded a fix for this to nx-libs 3.5.99.27-1 (testing/unstable) and about to upload as nx-libs 3.5.99.26-5+deb12u1 (bookworm). The official DEBs were missing debian/nx-x11-common.links (which is present in this repo). So the issue was specific to the official Debian package.
