>Description:

When building VNC (net/vnc) with the server option, Xvnc and vncserver and
friends are built.  Xvnc is the X server for the VNC session.  However, if
the server cannot find the 'fixed' font, which is supposed to be in
fonts.alias, the server dies.

>How-To-Repeat:

Install Xorg and VNC via the ports collection with the X server option
enabled in VNC.

>Fix:

Install x11-fonts/font-alias.  This should be a dependency of this port
when the server option is selected.
