Re: Installing extra fonts

Hi,

No, it is really a font selection issue in this case.

The application allows to select other fonts for the GUI
but the list only gives a single font.

I have fixed the issue by installing the font directory of VcXsrv
from the VcXsrv release.

Regards, Stéphane.

In the x2goclieny change the dpi to something higher, I use 110 from windows which I'm happy with.

This should not be necessary for this issue, if I understand the issue properly.
