Package: tightvncserver
Version: 1.2.9-10
Severity: grave
Tags: patch
Justification: renders package unusable
After upgrading to xorg 7.0 from unstable, Xvnc and tightvncserver
don't work because they can't find any fonts.
Here's a patch for tightvncserver. I didn't make the fallback font
path include all the fonts that xserver-xorg's configure script puts
in xorg.conf (which, on my system, looks like:
Section "Files"
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/X11/misc"
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/X11/cyrillic"
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/X11/100dpi/:unscaled"
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/X11/75dpi/:unscaled"
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/X11/Type1"
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/X11/100dpi"
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/X11/75dpi"
# path to defoma fonts
FontPath "/var/lib/defoma/x-ttcidfont-conf.d/dirs/TrueType"
EndSection
I also haven't patched Xvnc itself, only that wrapper script. I like
to use Xvnc on my home network with no password, which tightvncserver
doesn't support.
