how to manipulate the fonts of a vncviewer

[Rick Garland]

Hi all:

Got HPUX 11.00 running VNC 3.3 on a L series box. The system is running Oracle 9iAS Report Server.

How to control the fonts of the vncviewer so the Oracle reports run correctly.

Have been messing with xfs, xset, +fp, -fp, -q, rehash, etc., you get the idea.

Is there some config file somewhere as well?

Many thanks!

What do you mean by "run correctly"?VNC just transports (with compression) the frame buffer from server to viewer. Tried also tightvnc (http://www.tightvnc.com/ )?

If you have a fonts problem it could be with font server (xfs) and not with vnc.Man xfs for options (few).

How about doing a recompile/reinstall/config check on the fonts available to the font server. Maybe we are missing some now and I need to validate.

try /etc/X11/fs/config ...xfs will use this file , use xset -q to interogate the local vnc/cde session and xlsfonts ¦ grep to see if the fonts are installed on the L-clas

Finally found it.

Seems as part of the configuration for vnc it is looking for a printer. The printer that was defined for this configuration was a printer that had been removed from the network long ago. Just recently the printer was deleted from the system. The vnc server was still referencing this non-existent printer for the drivers. Long story short, add the printer back and all is well.

Many thanks!
