reinstalling vnc
BTW, uninstalling and reinstalling vnc doesn't help.

Edieren von /etc/vnc.conf hilft
als root /etc/vnc.conf edieren:
Zeile mit "# Example $fontPath = "";" suchen
Zeilenwechsel nach Example: einfuegen, dass also die Zeile $fontPath = ""; entsteht.
Kommentar von alle folgenden Zeilen bis zu "...freefont.." (sind 8 oder so) entfernen
Voila!

Oh sorry, Now in english:
login as root
Edit /etc/vnc.conf.
Search for # Example $fontPath = "";
Insert newline behind "Example:", this makes a new line: $fontPath = ""; Remove comment at all lines until "...freefont.." (these are ca.
Voila!

Font fixed... libstdc++-libc6.1-1.so.2 problem
Thanks for the font fix. Now I get this error:
Xvnc: error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++-libc6.1-1.so.2: cannot ope
n shared object file: No such file or directory
I also receive the same error when running the Netscape and Mozilla installers.

Tips for solving lib problems
On my system the correct libs are installed, but witches and wizards are everywhere...
If you don't want to reinstall, try this:
Code:
cd /usr/lib
ls libstdc*so*
Remember the name of the listed file e.g. libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3
If no file is listed, you must reinstall, because important files are missing.
Code:
ln -s libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3 libstdc++-libc6.1-1.so.2
This is a solution if the used subroutines have not changed from version 6.1.1 to 6.2.2.
Good luck!
