This one has worked for me for many years (including ubuntu 22.04):

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 <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.
