Subject: MEDM font alias woes on Ubuntu 22 (Jammy)

TL;DR : Has anyone gotten an exported MEDM session to display properly on Ubuntu 22.04?

I am trying to get the font aliases working for MEDM running on a remote machine but exporting the display to a local Ubuntu (22.04) machine. The guide I found (https://www.slac.stanford.edu/grp/ssrl/spear/epics/extensions/medm/MEDM.html#Fonts) regarding font alias creation got me close, but given the way the newest version of Ubuntu seems to handle fonts, I can't seem to get it working.

When medm is invoked, I get the following alias errors:
medmInit: Unable to load font widgetDM_30
  Trying default (fixed) instead

medmInit: Unable to load font widgetDM_36
  Trying default (fixed) instead

medmInit: Unable to load font widgetDM_40
  Trying default (fixed) instead

medmInit: Unable to load font widgetDM_48
  Trying default (fixed) instead

medmInit: Unable to load font widgetDM_60
  Trying default (fixed) instead

Note that these fonts in the alias file appear to be pointing to adobe flavors, which may be an issue.
