I still haven't found a solution. If I run "ps -ef | grep xfs", I receive the following results:
xfs 3679 1 0 Jul10 ? 00:00:00 xfs -droppriv -daemon kklein 20599 18316 0 09:13 pts/0 00:00:00 man xfs kklein 20602 20599 0 09:13 pts/0 00:00:00 sh -c (cd /usr/X11R6/man && (echo ".ll 13.1i"; echo ".pl 1100i"; /bin/gunzip -c '/usr/X11R6/man/ma n1/xfs.1x.gz'; echo; echo ".pl \n(nlu+10") | /usr/bin/gtbl | /usr/bin/nroff -c -mandoc | /usr/bin/less -isr) kklein 20603 20602 0 09:13 pts/0 00:00:00 sh -c (cd /usr/X11R6/man && (echo ".ll 13.1i"; echo ".pl 1100i"; /bin/gunzip -c '/usr/X11R6/man/ma n1/xfs.1x.gz'; echo; echo ".pl \n(nlu+10") | /usr/bin/gtbl | /usr/bin/nroff -c -mandoc | /usr/bin/less -isr) kklein 20963 18316 0 09:33 pts/0 00:00:00 grep xfs I assume from the first entry that xfs is running? All of the fonts except the GNOME terminal window look correct. Also, here is the exact command I am using to start the VNC server, if it makes any difference: vncserver :1 -geometry 1680x1050 -depth 24 What is the exact command you are using to initialize your VNC server?
