Running Xvnc under SunOS4 boxes...

Hi Akira,

Thank you. My box is SunOS4.1.4 also.

I have tried many things but I kept on getting "Cannot set default font
fixed" error once Xvnc starts. I think I need a file named fonts.dir in the
font directory  to get it going. Unfortunately I cannot create it with
command "mkfontdir" because it did nothing when I executed it.

I wonder if your system uses Openwin. If it does, is there anyway you can
provide me one of your font? Say misc font. It usually reside in
/usr/openwin/lib/font/misc.

Do you use xfs font server? Can you also provide me your vncserver script?

Thanks,
JS Yow
