RE: Font problem

2005-03-16 Thread James Weatherall
Dorje, Firstly, I'd recommend upgrading to VNC 4.1.1. Your problem actually sounds like your font path is broken - this is probably because your 6.2 install had some extra fonts while your 7.2 one doesn't, or is using a font server. Regards, Wez @ RealVNC Ltd. -Original Message-

Guys, Sorry, I thought I'd corrected this thread. The problem is to do with applications that create overlays in the graphics card, into which video output is rendered. VNC server fetches the display contents from the primary buffer, so any overlays don't appear. Regards, Wez @ RealVNC Ltd.

Hi there, The problem you're seeing is that the programs you're using assume that you'll only run one copy per-user - they aren't capable of running as the same user but on different desktops. This is a long-standing issue with many Gnome applications, if I remember correctly. You can either
