I changed /etc/nxcserver/node.conf to AGENT_FONT_SERVER="unix/:7100"

No help.

So on the server I tried:

/usr/libexec/nx/nxnode --agent :1
NX-:1> 1000 NXNODE - Version 2.1.0-72 OS (GPL, using backend: 3.2.0)
NX> 716 Starting NX Agent ...
_XSERVTransmkdir: ERROR: euid != 0,directory /tmp/.X11-unix will not be 
created.
_XSERVTransSocketUNIXCreateListener: mkdir(/tmp/.X11-unix) failed, errno = 9

error opening security policy file /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xserver/SecurityPolicy

which brought up an nx window, without any font errors. Then:

/usr/libexec/nx/nxnode --agent -fp "font path options" :1
NX--fp> 1000 NXNODE - Version 2.1.0-72 OS (GPL, using backend: 3.2.0)
NX> 716 Starting NX Agent ...
Unrecognized option: font path options
use: X [:<display>] [option]
-a #                   mouse acceleration (pixels)
........


Does it matter that X is not running on the server?


Thanks for any help.
