On Edgy, I solved the problem by adding the -fp parameter to the /etc/vnc/config file as follows:
sudo gedit /etc/vnc/config opens config file for r/w: # Default vncserver configuration. See the vncserver man page for details. -PasswordFile $HOME/.vnc/passwd # Location of VncAuth password -desktop "$HOSTNAME:$DISPLAYNUM ($USER)" # Desktop name -pn # Continue even if standard ports fail -httpd <inline> # Serve Java viewer inline ####################################### # Add correct X11 fonts path spec. Because vncserver does not # recognize -fp, it passes it to Xvnc, which vncserver invokes (see man # vncserver). Hence, this is equivalent to specifying # Xvnc :1 -fp /usr/share... -fp /usr/share/fonts/X11/Type1,/usr/share/fonts/X11/100dpi,/usr/share/fonts/X11/75dpi,/usr/share/fonts/X11/misc ######################################## -- 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
