22024 2003-05-31 19:14 0000 Some applications do not have a system font in vncserver (tightvnc package) 2004-01-15 07:25:38 0000 1 1 1 Unclassified Gentoo Linux Server unspecified All Linux RESOLVED FIXED P2 minor 1.4 1 billk@iinet.net.au aliz@gentoo.org magnade@gmail.com billk@iinet.net.au 2003-05-31 19:14:56 0000 gvim, unison and possibly other apps such as sylpheed (from a forum post) show only boxes for font charaters for system fonts such as menus. Adding the fontpaths from XF86Config did not fix it, but using $fontPath = "unix/:-1"; from an old, resolved bug (6614) fixed it. There is a line $fontPath = "unix/:7100"; already in the vncserver file, but it does not work since xfree-4.3 was installed (when the xfs package changed). This line is also commented out. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Run any of the above applications in an unmodified (fontpath- wise) (tightvnc)vncserver 2. 3. Actual Results: No menu or dialog boxes in gvim, unison and possibly other applications Expected Results: normal display magnade@gmail.com 2003-11-01 16:57:00 0000 ive got a patch for vncserver that reads /etc/X11/XF86Config for font paths it would fix this problem also is my guess since this patch fixed the problem i was having magnade@gmail.com 2003-11-01 16:58:01 0000 Created an attachment (id=20085) tightvnc-1.2.9-vncserver.patch heres the patch for 1.2.9 prob works for .8 also (been using .9 for some time now on x86 btw seems stable) billk@iinet.net.au 2003-11-07 22:39:18 0000 Actually I dont think this is a good idea. gentoo sets up xfree to use xfontserver so reading the XF86 file may not get what you need (and doesnt in my case on two systems) Just change to $fontPath = "unix/:-1" This fits in nicely without affecting the standard install of other packages and is a simple one-liner. Of course, if you dont run xfs it wont work, but thats a non-standard config and you are on your own.
