[FreeNX-kNX] FreeNX in Fedora 7 refuses to work

[Ronald]

Ok, I think I'm almost there :) . I reinstalled my system and the freenx 
and nx package (thanks for the tip :) ). Then I installed the closed 
source viewer from www.nomachine.org.

I managed to hop over 2 errors and I went completely down on this one 
(but I did got a LOT further). I enabled the log and it seems to be a 
font issue...

There are a lot of font errors, so I have no idea what to do. I managed 
to find the Type1 font, would a symlink help?

The xorg.conf server file says about fonts:

Section "Files"
...
         FontPath     "unix/:7100"
         FontPath     "built-ins"
EndSection

And a search on packages of fonts returned a lot of hits.

What to do next?

			Thanks in advance, Ronald
