k. on my installation (mdk 8.2, tightvnc-server-1.2.4-1mdk)
vncserver resides in /usr/X11R6/bin
line 42 says
$fontPath = "unix/:-1";
unfortunately i dun understand what that means,
so i can't explain it to you.
however i assume that is erroneous on your system,
and since line 44-45 says
# Here is another example of setting the font path:
# $fontPath = "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/misc/,/usr/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi/";
you can try commenting line 42 and uncommenting line 45.
those are the actual directories containing the font files for your
system, as well as other directories in /usr/bin/X11/fonts,
which you can try adding as well if need be.
