Getting back to this. Progress. Fonts 'fixed', but...

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?
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?
Robert, I noticed the same thing, so what I did is the following:
cd /usr/X11R6/; mkdir lib; cd lib; ln -s /usr/share/X11 .
Now try it. Seems like the repository from which I got TightVNC has
issues in directory compatibility.... but at least I got it working.
I didn't have a misc fonts directory, and my $HOME/.vnc/xtartup has:
#!/bin/sh
# Red Hat Linux VNC session startup script
exec /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc
If that still doesn't work, I'll post the /etc/init.d/vncserver script
that works for me (possibly from an older install of tightvnc - 1.2.9
I believe).
Now I get:
vncserver: The USER environment variable is not set.
If there's a more elegant solution, someone please let us know! :-)
