That's odd. Normally Ubuntu stores X11 fonts under
/usr/share/fonts/X11, which is one of the directories that the vncserver
script searches. Try the following:
find /usr -name encodings.dir
That should tell you whether your system has any X11 fonts installed at
all. If not, then try
sudo apt-get install xfonts-scalable xfonts-base xfonts-utils
xfonts-encodings
If the find command shows that the fonts are installed somewhere other
than under /usr/share/fonts/X11, then please let me know. Maybe Ubuntu
moved them, and I need to add the new location to vncserver.
As far as the keyboard error, try
sudo apt-get install x11-xkb-utils
