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?
