so I guess you are using the Nomachine NX server not FreeNX.

It turns out the application itself does not know how to interact with fc
so is unable to find the fonts.

By running xset +fp 'path to fonts' in the nxclient, I can get the app to
work.   Is there a way to do something like this in the nxclient/server
config?    I am having trouble figuring out what nomachine reads at start
up to define it's fontpath.   It doesn't seem to be reading
/etc/X11/xorg.conf as changes to the fontpath there do not show up in
nomachines environment when running xset q.

What is the nomachine startup sequence so that I can globally tweak the
fontpath?

Thanks.
