It had nothing to do with the resources file.

That's exactly right. VcXsrv's font path is just "built-ins" if there is
nothing in the fonts directory.

Yes, indeed. Nevertheless, I managed to solve my problems.

First of all I copied the fonts I'm using on the Linux PC to the Windows
client. I then gained access to VcXsrv's command line options by selecting
"use custom X-Server" (but VcXsrv anyway) and deselecting "start X-Server on
X2Go Client start" which made the options available. I added

  -fp 
C:/Programme/x2goclient/VcXsrv/fonts/75dpi/,C:/Programme/x2goclient/VcXsrv/fonts/misc/

(my font paths) to all four command line options.

After starting a new connection I was astonished that nothing had changed.

Because "xset -q" (within the session) still said that the font path is just
"built-ins", I set the path (and had to use my Linux paths):

  xset fp /usr/share/fonts/75dpi/,/usr/share/fonts/misc/,built-ins

For whatever reason (maybe some rendering is done by the client and some by
the server), this finally did the job!

So, Mr. Ophthalmologist I'm finally using an X2Go session and am very happy
about the fullscreen mode (that could not be used with a shadow session due
to a missing or invisible cursor).

And, in order to get back to the subject, pulseaudio works out of the box
thanks to the set environment variable.
