This directory is in the font path specified by the > vncserver script. Yes - but an X11 client doesn't look at the file; it sends an X11 protocol message to the X server; asking it for the font. And, since you can't talk to the X server, the font isn't found. I think it's because you don't have a :1 X server running, just a :0 one... that is, you have an X server listing on port 6000, just don't have one listening on port 6001. - Dave Rivers - To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
