[FreeNX-kNX] X.org font problems

[Bruce Stephens]

Debian's recently changed from XFree86 to X.org, and now nxagent can't
find the default "fixed" font.  

It's not that it doesn't have the right path (as AR01C00124 suggests
might be the case).  I've checked that, and added a suitable path
explicitly to nxagent.  But nxagent reports:

Could not init font path element /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc:unscaled, removing from list!
Could not init font path element /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc, removing from list!
Could not init font path element /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/cyrillic, removing from list!
Could not init font path element /usr/share/fonts/ttf/western, removing from list!
Could not init font path element /usr/share/fonts/ttf/decoratives, removing from list!
Could not init font path element /usr/share/fonts/truetype/openoffice, removing from list!

and so on.  Some of those are OK: maybe they don't actually exist.
But /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc certainly does, and fonts.dir and
fonts.alias look OK to me (and this directory is the one that includes
"fixed", of course).

So what's going on, and how do I fix it?

I tried an strace of nxagent (1.4.0.2-0alpha4), but that just shows it
reading fonts.dir and rejecting it:

I guess if noone else has noticed this, I could wait a bit and see if
a later package fixes it.  Or build my own 1.5.
