I had the same problem some time ago and the solution was to start a font server on one of the HP-UX machines and the use that font server when connecting to any of the HP-UX machines.

I also tried to copy all the needed fonts locally, bu I failed: I copied 60Mb of fonts from any directory with fonts but, for some reason, the connection stopped after the login.

Ciao,

I'm trying to connect up to a machine at work using XDMCP.  My home
machine is Win2k + Cygwin + XFree86.  I made sure to use the cygwin
setup program to get the latest packages.  I'm using the -query option
to do this, i.e.
XWin -depth 32 -engine 4 -fullscreen -refresh 85 -screen 0 1024 768
-query $remotehost
I get the login screen, enter my username and password and attempt to
login.  For some reason, I just get bounced back to the login screen
again.  I've been unable to get this to work.

Any ideas as to what could cause this?
