Whenever I tried to connect to nxserver-freenx-0.2.7 from either a linux or windows client, I got the following error from the nx server. Fatal server error: could not open default font 'fixed' The connection was subsequently closed. In order to fix the problem, I had to do the following: # mv /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/ /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts-old # ln -s /usr/share/fonts /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. I started with a system xorg-x11 6.8.0-r1 and without nx 2. I emerged the nx ebuilds listed in "Additional Information" 3. I started an nx client Actual Results: Authentication worked, but afterwards the connection get closed by the server. Expected Results: X11 window should have been opened x11-base/xorg-x11-6.8.0-r1 net-misc/nx-x11-1.4.0-r3 net-misc/nxproxy-1.4.0-r2 net-misc/nxclient-1.4.0-r3 net-misc/nxserver-freenx-0.2.7 I previously had xfree installed. The problem might be specific to once having xfree installed, and then replacing it with xorg?
Please use "New -> Gentoo Linux -> Component: Ebuilds" in future. Infrastructure is not the correct addressee.

No, I didn't do any particular reconfiguration after upgrading to xorg -- but haven't noticed any problems with fonts either. I'll set the bug status to invalid.
