Dave, If the server is running on unix, the vncserver script has a section that allows you to set font paths. You have to uncomment those statements (this described in the unix build instructions). You also have to make sure that the default paths contained in the script actually exist on your system. In addition to the paths contained there, you can also append paths that are normally used by your xwindows system i.e. when you log onto the unix system without VNC. On solaris, I can query those paths using "xset -q". I guess these paths are set by any X windows startup scripts that run when I log in. I also guess that they might not be set if you log in via a method that doesn't use Xwindows e.g. if you telnet into the the unix box.
I'm not sure if any of this applies to servers running on windows; I imagine it also uses font paths of some sort.
