On Edgy I have solved with a symbolic link from /usr/share/X11/fonts to /usr/share/fonts/X11. I think this workaround is better than the '-fp' one, because in the '-fp' manner Xvnc knows only about 'misc' sub-directory, and not about the others (100dpi, 75dpi, Type1 etc.).
However, me too I think the right way is solve this in the upstream Xvnc program. -- Xvnc4 (package vnc4server) unable to find fixed font in Breezy https://launchpad.net/bugs/3593 -- universe-bugs mailing list universe-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/universe-bugs
