Regarding the xset q command: Here is what is returned when I run it at my local desktop terminal:
Font Path: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/msttcorefonts,/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi/:unscaled,/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi/:unscaled,/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1,/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi,/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi,/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc Here is what is returned when I run it in the VNC desktop terminal: Font Path: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc/,/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Speedo/,/usr/X11R6/lib /X11/fonts/Type1/,/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi/,/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dp i/ However, I tried starting a vnc server with the following command: vncserver :1 -geometry 1680x1050 -depth 24 -fp /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/msttcorefonts,/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi/:unscaled,/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi/:unscaled,/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1,/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi,/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi,/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc I still had the same problem, even though the font paths were identical.
