Window mgr. font pb when using vnc for solaris 2.5 on solaris 2.7 ?

[Zelck, Guy]

Hello all,
=20
I've been using a pre-compiled binary for sparc solaris 2.5 on my =
solaris
2.5 & 2.6 platforms with great success.
However, when I try to use that same binary on solaris 2.7 the binary =
runs
alright but whatever window mgr. I try to use seems to have problems =
with
the font recognition. It's not that I haven't declared the font paths, =
I'm
not a newbie, but I get the following errors:
using olwm:
--------------
    [sune2:/.dt] olwm
    olwm: fatal error -- Could not find any fonts to use. Exiting...

using dtwm:
--------------
    Workspace Manager: failed to load font: =FE=A1:=FE=F5=FE=B0W

using xset q to see where the fonts are (this is done with Xvnc running =
from
within the xterm window that xstartup provides):
------------------------------------------------------------------------=
----
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
    Font Path:

/usr/openwin/lib/X11/fonts/misc/,/usr/openwin/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi/,/usr/=
open
win/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi/

As you can see, it's not Xvnc that won't start, it runs, I can connect =
to it
and it is willing to run X apps like xterm or xclock e.g..
It's just (but this is crucial) that it won't start any of my beloved =
window
mgrs.
I presume there is an incompatibility between the fonts from different
solaris versions. I read all the Faqs & docs but there is no mention of =
this
anywhere.
Either there is a simple solution which I would be gratefull to hear of =
or
... can anyone please point me to a pre-compiled Solaris 2.7 binary =
for vnc.

Thanks for your replies,
