Perhaps there should be an xfs use variable. Chris. vapier@gentoo.org 2002-08-16 18:31:15 0000 why ? vncserver runs just fine without a font server kelsall@dsl.pipex.com 2002-08-18 09:47:46 0000 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. Chris. seemant@gentoo.org 2002-09-03 03:11:23 0000 I have placed an -r3 ebuild for vnc into portage, which should have this feature enabled. Please test and report. seemant@gentoo.org 2002-09-03 03:11:53 0000 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.
