NX Session may fail to start on Fedora 9 and 10 due to missing 'fixed' font

The NX session may fail to start on a default installation of Fedora 9 and 10.

At session startup, nxagent looks for the font named 'fixed' belonging to the X core font subsystem. Starting from Fedora 9, the X core font subsystem is no longer installed by default.

The suggested workaround is to install the xorg-x11-fonts-misc package which provides the font 'fixed'.

In order to make the fix effective, it is necessary to update both the NX Client and NX Node installation on server side. The NX Client 3.3.0-6 packages now ship the base fonts needed by nxagent, while the NX Node 3.3.0-11 packages include changes to nxagent needed for making it able to retrieve these fonts from the client installation.
