Hi, we also use nxclient 1.5 with software that needs client side fonts. 
The solution is either to use font server that is accessible from the 
server an the client or install these special fonts both on the client X 
and on the server where nxagent is. To check what fonts you got run 
"xfontsel" on the server and on the client X and see if fonts a there. 
If you have installed these fonts you can include them in the 
environment with "xset +fp /path/to/font/directory". Thats it :)
