I am running VNCserver on a linux (Suse 8.2) box and controlling it with
VNCviewer on windows 200. That works very well. There are truetype
fonts on the linux box which display fine under KDE 3.1.1 in the normal X
server. But they won't display using VNC, with one puzzling exception:
they do show up, correctly rendered, in the KDE font preview box.

That's to say that I can use the font manager in the KDE control
centre to find and display all sorts of TrueType fonts over VNC, just
as I can when I am using the normal X server. I can see truetype fonts
displayed over VNC when I use OpenOffice. They are then ugly, as all
fonts in Linux tend to be, but entirely recognizable. So there are
circumstances when I can get Truetype fonts over VNC.

But they don't appear in any other KDE window or on the KDE desktop,
though they do when I am using a normal X server. So this is clearly a
problem in the interaciton between KDE and VNC. One possible clue is
that I had to set the colour depth to 16 in vncserver to get any TT
fonts to appear at all.

Can anyone suggest another setting I might tweak in VNC to make these
fonts work properly with KDE?
