Hello,

I have installed a minimal version of Alpine on a remote system.  I
have also installed the "audacious" package.  Notably, Xorg is not
installed on the remote server.

When I run Audacious remotely over a tunneled connection to my local
desktop Xorg server, the Audacious window lacks fonts.  (See

Can anyone suggest a way to figure out which packages I should install
on the remote system so that Audacious has the fonts it needs?

Thanks!

Parke

You could just try some from https://wiki.alpinelinux.org/wiki/Fonts,
I personally use ttf-dejavu. Hope that helps.
