Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.
RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Output after vnc start is called

Description of problem:
When I run the vnc server start command, I get "could not open default font 'fixed'". I've seen some defects regarding this but I'm using RHEL 6.3 in this case.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Xvnc TigerVNC 1.1.0 - built Nov 26 2012 10:15:00
RHEL 2.6.32-279.el6.x86_64

How reproducible:
1) Install RHEL 6.3 Basic
2) Install "Desktop Platform" group
3) install xorg-x11-fonts-100dpi.noarch xorg-x11-fonts-75dpi.noarch xorg-x11-fonts-cyrillic.noarch xorg-x11-fonts-misc.noarch
4) install tigervnc-server tigervnc
5) create required user and set its passwd and vncpasswd
  
Actual results:
See attachment. Same result with root or any user

Expected results:
Be able to connect with VNC
