Anyway, I installed tightvnc to test out its IPv6 support.

Installed ok (after I erased regular vnc). But when I tried to start it, I got 5 warnings about:

Font directory '/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc' not found - ignoring (then the same message for Speedo, Type1, 75dpi, and 100dpi).

Then a fatel server error about: could not open default fount 'fixed'

So I looked in the repos (curtesy of yumex) and did find a few 75dpi a 100dpi fonts, but there seemed to be a lot of these two. I installed a ocuple of them and tried again. Got the same errors.

So how do I fix this one?




Perhaps vnc can't talk to the xfs daemon - IPv6 or firewall related?

Perhaps. What ports does xfs use? Why does it work for vncserver (on IPv4 only of course)?

7100 I think . . .

grep xfs /etc/services
xfs             7100/tcp                        # X font server

 . . yes



But I stopped both iptables and ip6tables and the same error messages.

And installing OpenOffice did not 'fix' things. Perhaps setting symlinks may be needed.



I remember playing games with Matlab to get it to find it's own fonts. I think it went something like:

mkdir <fontdir>
cp fonts* <fontdir>
mkfontdir <fontdir>
Add <fontdir> to /etc/X11/fs/config

Like you say, maybe just a link to /usr/share/X11/fonts/misc would do the trick.

Perhaps a vnc/X startup script somewhere is hardcoded?
