you need to set up a font alias. Or import some font aliases from Hummingbird's website.
Basically each Xserver needs a "font server". Exceed has its own "font server" -> windows. The problem is translating X font names to windows font names. Exceeed has a database that mataches them up... but the databases get outdated everytime X changes a bit (new version of mandrake or solaris...). You could configure your xfs font server to export to your network, and not just on a named pipe, and then configure exceed to get fonts from your linux box. But I think the fonts will look like crap... just like they do in X... ;) M.S.
