Thanks for your explanation. I've simply edited the maple configuration file so that the missing fonts won't be used. So, Maple uses standard fonts which work perfectly.
Another problem I'm confronted with: As I'm behind a firewall which I can't control, I can only use port 21 (ssh) and port 81. I can establish the ssh connection, but when I connect to the vncserver, I get rejected.: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~> vncviewer localhost:2 vncviewer: VNC server closed connection I'm using SuSE 8.2 as client and SuSE 8.0 as server.
