tightvnc trouble

[sky2371@xxxxxxx]

I am having trouble getting tightvnc to start with Fedora
8. I installed tightvnc from an rpm file then added the following lines
to /etc/sysconfig/vncservers 


 VNCSERVERS="1:vncuser"
VNCSERVERARGS[1]="-geometry 1024x768"

When I try to start the service it complains something about the font path
as shown in the console output below.

Thanks in advance for your help!


root@nsite-tp-6 sysconfig]# service vncserver start
