please add the following to the system configuration file
/etc/vnc.conf

       $fontPath = "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc/,";
       $fontPath .= "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi/:unscaled,";
       $fontPath .= "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi/:unscaled";

The problem arises because Xvnc is very sensitive to the fontPath (which is
taken from /etc/X11/XF86Config by default on a Debian system). Not
existing fontPaths are not silently ignored, but Xvnc reports the wrong
error message. IMHO, those are two bugs.

Thank you,
