I forgot to tell one thing, I am testing it with Nx of nomachine
Apparently NX uses his own fonts, so one has to define a fontserver in the  
setup of the client-login
this fontserver is as I understand the I.P. address of the server you are  
logging into, or whatever server.
In either case, it works that way.
And it worked with VNC.

Note: It should be understood that in this case I am connecting from one  
linux-box to another.
Because I installed to linux-VM's (vmware)

I hope someone can use this.

Thanks anyway
