Typically a difference in the fontpath. Try `xset -q` for both displays
(`xset -q -display :0` and `xset -q -display :1`) and see the difference.

On the fly, you can use xset to update the fontpath of the bad-behaving
display to that of the well-behaving. Check manpages on xset `man xset` for
details.

Once you have a decent fontpath, give it to `Xvnc` with the `-fp` option.

Details: Be sure the path is accessible for both Xservers: readable by the
account that actually runs Xvnc and on the same machine.

If the fontpath is a bunch of directories, the account that runs  Xvnc
cannot read one (or more) of them
If the fontpath is a fontserver, check the firewall and such if it is also
accessible for others than the default.

Use the xset command `man xset` It has ways to add fontdirectories in
various ways.

What messages? I do know xconsole can display on any Xserver. Equivalents
are almost every terminal emulator, most have a "-C" option, to try to
capture the console messages: `xterm -C`. Be warned, there is only one
console device (/dev/console) on every machine. Most times, only the user
logged in at the graphical console can access the device (check the rights
of /dev/console or the device it is softlinked to).

... I don't know but I do know there is a lot of documentation on fonts.
Then you can get lost in font-aliassing...
