Could you check if installation of "xorg-x11-fonts-misc" package fixes your problem, please? (http://www.mail-archive.com/tigervnc-users@lists.sourceforge.net/msg00030.html) Thanks.
installing xorg-x11-fonts-misc package does solved the problem. Thanks. Not sure if that package needs to be added as a dependency or we must remember to install it.
It was added as dependency in tigervnc-0.0.90-0.7.20090427svn3789.fc11, will be available soon. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 498184 ***
