#3 truetype fonts not initialising

[Tony Austin]

I'm using the Xvnc beta version that you sent me and
getting the error below on loading the truetype fonts.
As far as I can tell my truetype fonts directory is
OK, I have run "ttmkfdir -o font.scale" and "mkfontdir"
successfully and my truetype fonts seem to install and
work with plain old X (no error on loading) and Xvnc
(even with the error msg), so I am not sure why I am
seeing the message.

My fontpath variable in /usr/bin/vncserver is
"$fontPath =
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc/,/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/truetype/,/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi/";

Any ideas?

Curiously, Xvnc seems to output the log file entries as
below twice; the following log file is just from a
single launch.

When your using plain X, have you got

Load "xtt"

in your XF86Config file ?

Yes, I do have

Load "xtt"

in my XF86Config file?

That's the problem with Xvnc, it didn't have the xtt module
compiled in.

I'll fix that for the 4.3.0 release.

xf4vnc 4.3.0 is released. Can you try it ?

This looks fixed with xf4vnc 4.3.0. The Xvnc log file with
-kb option is as follows:
