7.7 - XVNC: ERROR MESSAGE "FONT FIXED"
When the VNC server displays this type of message:
Could not open default font 'fixed'.
That means no fixed font is available.
Note
: the font paths handled by Xvnc are given by the '-fp' option.
Three methods are available to fix this problem:
1 -Check if your Linux is consistent (for instance, are there directories on
the Xvnc font path which don't actually exist on your system). To fix that
use the 'mkfontdir' command or update Linux by installing packages.
2 -Modify the '-fp' option value. Add or remove font paths.
3 - Remove the '-fp' option from the Xvnc command. Then, Xvnc will use
default font path.
Note
: if the Axel VNC utility (axvnc) is used, run '
axvnc -nofp
'. This will
prevent Xvnc to use customised font paths.
