Microsoft Remote Desktop (RDP) Version 10 for Mac Doesn't Display Text

When using Microsoft Remote Desktop version 10 on macOS to connect to remote sessions via PrivX, text elements may not be rendered in the remote session.

This is typically due to rendering incompatibilities between the Mac RDP client and the default rendering behavior of PrivX.

Potential Solution

Enable glyph-to-bitmap transformation in PrivX by adding the following lines in the RDP proxy configuration file /opt/privx/etc/rdpmitm/rdpproxy.ini:

[client]
transform_glyph_to_bitmap = Yes

After the modification, restart the RDP proxy service with sudo systemctl restart redemption to apply changes.

Enabling glyph transformation disables font antialiasing. As a result, text may appear visually different from standard rendering.
