I understand, and I'll have a look there! Actually, I thought that fonts are independent of the acutal implementation of the X-Server. I now see that I was wrong. The question remains, why nedit looks at *those* fonts. I'm perfectly happy to specify in the preferences of nedit only those fonts which are actually installed with Xming. However, nedit seems to look at certain fonts, which I certainly have not mentioned in my preferences....
