Hi again,
   My post to this list on 2-8-01 described a "workaround" for a problem
originally posted by Guy McArthur on 11-16-99. I have now narrowed down
the cause, and have found what I think is a "fix".
   It seems that KDE uses a default font (Helvetica) on its Desktop -
which  vncserver  complains about. On the off-chance that vncviewer also
may not, I changed the default Desktop font to Lucdia. Vncviewer worked
normally.
    You can change the default font in KDE by right-clicking on the empty
desktop, selecting "display properties', the 'font' tab, and then
selecting another font. If you then click 'default' it returns you to the
Helvetica font, so just pick 'apply' and then 'ok'. 
     Hope this helps someone make VNC work for them. Its a great addition
to my linux machine!
     Now that blue screen when I start Win 98 - I'm still working on that
one!

                                                           
Cheers............Tom
