vncserver startup issue on HP-UX 11.11

[David Vann_2]

I've installed realvnc 3.3.7, but cannot get the vncserver to successfully start. I get the following error:
"_FontTransSocketINETConnect: Can't connect: errno = 239
failed to set default font path 'tcp/:7000,/usr/lib/X11/fonts/hp_roman8/75dpi/,/
usr/lib/X11/fonts/iso_8859.1/100dpi/,/usr/lib/X11/fonts/iso_8859.1/75dpi/,/usr/l
ib/X11/fonts/misc/'
Fatal server error:
could not open default font 'fixed'"

Can anyone help? I've played around with the cmd string for the fonts and couldn't get any to work. Not sure what value to put in the cmd string. Or if that is the problem

Splitting the fontpath into separate lines, gives:

tcp/:7000,
/usr/lib/X11/fonts/hp_roman8/75dpi/,
/usr/lib/X11/fonts/iso_8859.1/100dpi/,
/usr/lib/X11/fonts/iso_8859.1/75dpi/,
/usr/lib/X11/fonts/misc/'

The first is looking for a local font server on port 7000 - do you have one ? (ps -ef|grep xfs). If not, take that out of your fontpath.

Do the other directories exist and contain lots of .pcf files? If not, you need to load them from the HP-UX CDs.

Hope that helps

That did it. It was the font server. We didn't have one running. Thanks for the help.
