No. This is Centos 5! So perhaps there is an issue with tightVNC????
Yes, you may try to create symbolic links to have the fonts on the other path.
Just great. Now I get to figure this out... :('
I'm not an expert on X11 here, but I don't think applications would have font paths hardcoded. It might be worth the try though.
So where is the font paths coming from messed up? I note that I do not have OpenOffice installed on this system. Perhaps that might make a difference....
Where did you install TightVNC from? RPMforge/DAG has an RPM for it (version 1.3.9-3.el5.rf for CentOS 5).
Yes. That is what I have and where I got it.
If that still does not fix your problem, then try installing "fonts-xorg-100dpi" and "fonts-xorg-75dpi" as well.
For Centos 5, there are a number of fonts-xorg-100dpi, a '14' a '15' and I don't recall what else I found with the help of yumex.
I only have xorg-x11-fonts-ISO8859-1-100dpi and xorg-x11-fonts-ISO8859-1-75dpi installed here, and I never had problems with fonts.
ISO8859-1 is a character set also known as Latin-1, it has fonts for most western alphabets.
ISO8859-14 and ISO8859-15 are character sets with special characters for (I believe) easter European countries. I believe one of those is the same as Latin-1 but with an extra Euro sign, for example. I don't think you need those, at least not to run TightVNC. Your problem is probably not there.
I have all of these :)
