Why is LXDE displaying only boxes for font - and how to fix
0
A picture is worth 1000 words:
This is fedora 20 running LXDE using X2GOServer, with X2GO client on windows. I am on a VPS at ramnode.
I assume it's an issue with encoding, but I just can't figure out how to fix it from the command line, and fixing it from the gui is practically impossible since I cant read anything.

Most likely you're missing some installed fonts. It's a brute-force solution, but doingyum search fontsand installing anything that seems likely might help.

I just installed XFCE and that works. Should I delete the question - as now I have no real reason to try to find the answer?

There's no reason to delete the question; someone might come along and say something helpful, and the point of this place is to be a useful database for the future, as well.

Allright. Should I write my workaround solution as an answer?

If desired. I'm not sure it would be on-topic, though.
