I was fighting a similar (sounding, at least) problem with vnc some time
ago.  Looks like you're using xfstt?  Two things to try... firstly, do
"ps auwx | grep [x]fstt" to make sure that xfstt is really running, followed
by "/etc/init.d/xfstt start" (as root) if it isn't.  If that's not it,
edit /etc/X11/XF86Config and replace

     FontPath "unix/:7101"

with

     FontPath "tcp/localhost:7101"


I never found out why, but vnc absolutely would not get along with xfstt
using unix-domain sockets on my system.
