Do you want the X-session displayed on a display other
 than the default [195.159.120.8:0.0] (yes = 1/no = 0)?

XConsole cannot start a session because no fonts are available.
Connection closed by foreign host.


On the server console, the following error message is shown:

400: XConsole failed to find a valid font in the font tables and internal tables on the remote X-server [hostname].

  • Novell says: Add the font names available to your X Window System* server to the appropriate font file on the NetWare server.

    Unfortunately, Novell fail to mention exactly what these files should be called and what to put in them, so we had to figure that part out ourselves:

    Create two files
    "SYS:ETC\xfontEng" and "SYS:ETC\xfontEur"

    Both files should contain the following:
    fixed
    variable

    ...and it should work.
