Yes, you may try to create symbolic links to have the fonts on the
other path. I'm not an expert on X11 here, but I don't think
applications would have font paths hardcoded. It might be worth the
try though. Where did you install TightVNC from? RPMforge/DAG has an
RPM for it (version 1.3.9-3.el5.rf for CentOS 5).

I only have xorg-x11-fonts-ISO8859-1-100dpi and
xorg-x11-fonts-ISO8859-1-75dpi installed here, and I never had
problems with fonts.
ISO8859-1 is a character set also known as Latin-1, it has fonts for
most western alphabets.
ISO8859-14 and ISO8859-15 are character sets with special characters
for (I believe) easter European countries. I believe one of those is
the same as Latin-1 but with an extra Euro sign, for example. I don't
think you need those, at least not to run TightVNC. Your problem is
probably not there.
HTH,
