Ruth,

Perhaps, the thing to do in this case, don't use VNC.  VNC/Xvnc is  
essentially mimicking an X11/Xserver display on the remote server  
(aka remote frame buffer).  By the time the X11/Xserver objects reach  
the VNCviewer on your local host, everything has turned into pixels.

One choice might be to run RFT on that remote server with an actual  
X11/Xserver display manager and run RFT on the remote server as well.

Another option might be to run RFT plus an X11/Xserver display  
manager on your local host and configure the DISPLAY on the remote  
server to use that X11/Xwindows display manager on your local host.   
There are several X11/Xserver implementations available for Windows**.

In both case, my assumption is that RFT *does* work with X11/Xservers  
and handles object finding, etc.  I can not attest to that since I am  
not familiar with RFT.
