Hi.
I like the new irix style desktop a lot. Got it running in that xephyr window so far. Sadly no luck running with the standard login manager, where you can choose your session at login. After login it just jumps straight back to the login prompt.
However, when running in xephyr i got errors regarding missing fonts.
The error is XmNfontType set to XmAS_IS. Cannot load font
And when trying to run xosview i getxosview: display :1 cannot load font xfg:Noto Sans:italic:size=10
I installed all of the noto-fonts, but sadly no luck.
Where can i see the logs why login is not working?
And which packages do i need to install for the fonts?

Updating the font cache like vishnu suggested is a good idea, then do fc-list | grep -i "noto". The session manager redirects stderr and stdout to ~/.xmsession.log so you could check that for details about login crashes.

The XmNfontType XmAS_IS warning is probably the Motif toolkit complaining about localization settings. Safe to ignore.

Right now the only tested platforms are Debian 11 or Devuan 4 but all dependency package names are in the DebAptDeps.sh script. Debian derivatives like Ubuntu will rename a lot of packages too, something to look out for.
