Marcel, The link above did not work because NFS mounts do not traverse links. Imagine if a user who could remotely mount their home directory decided to create a link to /etc in their home directory. Then they could just cd directly into that system directory! While file permissions would hopefully prevent them from doing anything bad, NFS is made to work like this *on purpose*. It's a feature, not a bug. :-) What you can do is just turn the link around. Actually move all of the fonts to the LTSP tree under /opt/ltsp/... and then point the main system directory at that: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts -> /opt/ltsp/i386/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/ This allows you to keep one copy of your fonts and everything keeps working smoothly. To tell what fonts are being used, refer to the commands 'xlsfonts' (CLI) and 'xfontsel' (X11).
