font path problem SOLVED

[Jason C. Chen]

I should have checked the FAQ.html in the VNC page.

It gives two solutions to the font path problem for Linux xvnc server.

1) recompile the source with a patch, 
   decompress the fonts and run mkfontdir to rebuilt fonts.dir
2) run a font server (xfs) and modify the vncserver script

Hope people having a similar problem find this helpful.
