Sounds like a font server issue. I'm not familiar with how SuSE is set up, so I will give you some general ideas. On the local console (with the desktop the way you want it to be) open an xterm and type: $ xset q You are looking for the "Font Path" section. Next do the same thing in your VNC session. Chances are they are different. You can adjust the VNC font path by editing the "vncserver" script (find it by doing a "which vncserver" and look for the comment about "Add font path and color database stuff here". You then edit the line that has "-fp" to match what your local session says. For example, my Redhat box uses a font server, so I replaced the original: $cmd .= " -fp /usr/lib/X11/fonts/misc/,/usr/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi/"; With a line pointing to my font server: $cmd .= " -fp unix/:7100"; Just remember to back up the vncserver file once you have everything working, because it will be replaced when you upgrade to a different VNC version. If you have any trouble, reply to the list with the relevant output from the above xset command and I'm sure we can help you out. Note to VNC maintainers: One small change that TightVNC incorporates is making the fontpath and color path variables at the start of the script (similar to geometry and depth). This makes them very easy to find and change. Please consider it in the next RealVNC version. -- William Hooper Have you crashed your Windows today ? _______________________________________________ VNC-List mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.realvnc.com/mailman/listinfo/vnc-list
