Hi,
I am using xrdp with X11rdp quite often over slow connections (long
distance internet connections). In doing so, I noticed that some programs
(e.g. gedit, gnome-terminal - probably any gtk and qt based program) seem
to have a quite slow font rendering. Other programs (e.g. nedit, xterm -
more simple programs, probably those using the fontserver) are very fast -
more or less same speed as a text-only ssh connection. My impression is
that the slower programs result in bitmap screen updates to be send to the
client, while the fast programs render the fonts differently so high-level
updates can be sent and the fonts are rendered on the client.
Is this correct? If yes, is there any way to enable the more modern
programs not using the fontserver (but probably xrender) to also use
client-side font rendering?
Btw: I am using a very recent git version of xrdp (pulled from the master
branch), but I observed this problem also with a much much older version
0.6.0 with a separate X11rdp package. Maybe I am installing or configuring
it wrong?
Thanks for any help in advance!
Cheers,
Martin
