Description Vladimir Berezhnoy 2012-04-09 21:34:03 UTC
When media-fonts/font-misc-misc is built with -nls I'm getting 

$ vncserver :1
Couldn't start Xvnc; trying default font path.
Please set correct fontPath in the vncserver script.
Couldn't start Xvnc process.

A fix is to build media-fonts/font-misc-misc with +nls
