well, its a strange thing. I am really just messing around. i spend alot of
time at school and would like to use my PC at school, without going home, so i
use VNC. it is a linux box(at home) and windows at school. the funny thing is,
even on the local machine (i have a dummy login where i just VNC to my
desktop) it does the font errors. I was under the impression that vnc sent the
actual image data to the viewer, so that fonts wouldnt really matter. But i
guess that doesnt mean i know anything. When i get home again from classes, i
will look at the xset thing, i know their is a font path thing in one of the
script files for vncserver i think. maybe that will help? i thought they were
all set properly though. thanks again for any help and your time.
