Then something has happened behind my back to cause this error.Just for context, I am typing this into an X2Go session on my server which I connect to from Windows 7.I did try to format the first post, but having joined Ubuntu Forums in 2008, I find the revamp a bit ****, to be honest.

But I'm not really familiar with X beyond the fact it's a GUI package of some sorts.The thing is Calibre WORKED when I ran it using X2Go to connect into my Debian box. Version of calibre is, let me check, v1.25.Sorry "au fait" means "familiar with" if you're a poncy UK speaker like me :) I'm quite used to Linux (having cut my teeth on Unix on a PDP-11 in the 80s). Then use that Linux desktop to connect into other systems, like my calibre server (it does plex, kodi, NFS, and a few other things too). Which DE are you running? I use openbox, no DE.Never heard "au fair" and google didn't explain it to me.I use x2go (from Linux and Windows clients) to connect to a Linux desktop. Would get more eyes if the #0 post used code tags (could edit it). No idea if that is it or not (probably not). Do you have the complete font packages install? Just guessing here.

There are lots of options, but x2go is actually the best solution if you have to use Windows.
