That still doesn't work. Now when I pass no -fp argument to Xvnc, I get:
Could not init font path element built-ins, removing from list!
Fatal server error:
could not open default font 'fixed'
I've also tried passing an argument of "-fp
catalogue:/etc/X11/fontpath.d" to Xvnc, and that gives me the same
result (minus the message about built-ins.)
I guess we're approaching this from two different angles. I'm trying to
create a version of the TigerVNC server that will run on as many
different platforms as possible. I think that is Cendio's goal as
well. So rather than hard-code the font path into Xvnc, I want to be
able to override it at the command line level. In my opinion, the
behavior of the vncserver script should be:
if (XFS exists && XFS is running) {$fontPath={inet|unix}/:7100;}
else if(font catalogue exists) {$fontPath=catalogue:{catalogue path};}
else {attempt to build font path for this system;}
Attempt to start Xvnc using $fontPath
if(failed) {Attempt to start Xvnc with no -fp argument;}
but, per the above, setting $fontPath to catalogue:/etc/X11/fontpath.d
doesn't seem to work.
