Description:   Opened: 2002-08-16 18:19 0000 
I hack the vncserver script to use the X font server, thus... 
 
$fontPath = "unix/:-1"; 
 
It would be nice if the ebuild did this automatically. Perhaps there should be 
an xfs use variable. 
 
Chris.

why ?
vncserver runs just fine without a font server

2 reasons off the top of my head. These apply to any program that uses X fonts.

Because it is easier to define the font path in just one place (the font 
server).

Because the font server could be remote and have fonts that you don't have 
locally.

I have placed an -r3 ebuild for vnc into portage, which should have this
feature
enabled.  Please test and report.

ooh, also, if you could pass the word on to the users on the forums who are
concerned with this to test, that would be fantastic.
