Thanks, but still no joy.


But after grubbing around a bit more on the web, I've run 'xset q',
which tells me
Font Path:
   /usr/share/vnc/fonts/

So that looks like the problem. That directory is very skeletal:
# ls /usr/share/vnc/fonts/
6x13-ISO8859-1.pcf.gz  cursor.pcf.gz  fonts.alias  fonts.dir

Crudely, I tried replacing the fonts dir with a symlink to
/usr/share/fonts/X11, but the vncserver crashed most spectacularly at
startup. I'm hunting for a config option to vncserver to set the fonts
path to the actual X11 path -- no luck so far.
