Latest pre-release build should fix this. I modified the TurboVNC Server's in-tree version of libXfont to support catalogues, modified vncserver so that it checks for /etc/X11/fontpath.d and sets the font path to catalogue:/etc/X11/fontpath.d if that directory exists (same as TigerVNC), and on systems that don't support catalogues, vncserver now checks for the Liberation fonts (used by LibreOffice) and the Ghostscript fonts and adds them to the font path it generates. We should now present the same font availability as TigerVNC, but please let me know if you encounter additional issues.
Adding font catalogue support is technically a new feature, but I felt it was non-disruptive enough to add to the stable build. Given the architecture of libXfont, if there is a bug in the catalogue implementation, it will affect only the use of font catalogues and should not affect the use of regular font paths.
