Could it be that you do not have a license for NoMachine's NX server ??

OK, it is not the missing license (though that will expire some day soon
if you are using an evaluation version). It is the font not found in the
expected location.

What is the output of these commands:

--> "grep AGENT_EXTRA_OPTIONS_X /usr/NX/etc/node.cfg"
--> "ls -ld /usr/share/{X11,X11/fonts,/X11/fonts/misc}"
--> "ls -ld /usr/X11R6/{lib,lib/X11,lib/X11/fonts,lib/X11/fonts/misc}/"
--> "ls -l /usr/share/X11/fonts/misc/ | wc -l"
--> "ls -l /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc/ | wc -l"
--> "fc-match fixed"

?

Usually, NO! Plain and simple.

Your 30 day evaluation is meant to give you a fair chance of testing
the NoMachine NX server. If you want to continue to use it after the
30 days are over, go buy a license or a support contract.  Also, it 
seems to me you agreed to remove the NoMachine version from your box 
after 30 days if you do not want to continue to use it (and to buy a 
license if you do decide otherwise.

If you want a gratis NX server forever, then install and use FreeNX 
(and live with the limitations there are here).
