Hi! I worked hard to get some Solaris stuff to work through VNC. Some started with the wrong fonts so it was unreadable, some didn't even start at all. What I did to solve this was to tell the VNC-server to use a font-server. X11 standard worked fine for me = xfs Though I'm using a FreeBSD as main host, I'm not sure if the font-server is the same in Solaris. But the solution is the same, because Xvnc is not capable of reading ALL fonts. So instead of using a font-PATH, just use a xfont-server and give the path to it. Then the font-server will serve Xvnc with fonts, that did the magic and I no longar have troubles with it. How you call/configure the font-server is up to you system. Make a "man X" it should say what standard Font-server are supposed to work for you. Then I supossed that u are running Xfree86. When you know how to config the font server, then you just add the call to start the server in xstartup And then you tell your x-server to use a font-server instead of a font-path.
