I have just downloaded the freely available VNC software package vnc-4_1_3-x86_linux to a workstation freshly installed with Fedora version 10 Linux release. When I launch the VNC Server I consistently get a fatal error after the software is unable to find a default font. At the end of this mail please find a snapshot of my log file.
I have looked through some of the history of this problem and don't see a quick and easy answer. I have seen a post that indicates that there may be a problem with the vncserver.conf file and to look at the contents of the xorg.conf file to see what should be in the vncserver.conf file. However, I can't find either of these files on my system. I am new at the Linux ways and hope that I can resolve this issue with your assistance.
