vncserver script does not set X11 font path to use font server.
Some fonts in vnc session does not work (ex. iso8859-2 fonts)

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. I make binary rpm from vnc-3.3.3r2-13.src.rpm on Redhat 6.2 CZ (czech 
version)
2. install binary rpm
3. start vncserver
4. all czech text in KDE desktop are invalid, I cannot select ISO8859-
charset

All are correct after applaying this patch on vncserver script

Yes, this seems like a reasonable thing to do.


Comment 2 Tim Waugh 2001-05-04 11:21:55 UTC
In fact newer version of Red Hat Linux use unix/:7100 for the font path.  I 
have adjusted this in vnc-3.3.3r2-15.
