vncserver and font problem



Hello everybody!

I'm trying to get X (KDE) working on a remote headless machine and access it via vncserver.

So, I ssh to the remote machine, install KDE and then tightvncserver, and give:

$ vncserver -geometry 1152x864 -depth 24
Couldn't start Xtightvnc; trying default font path.
Please set correct fontPath in the vncserver script.
Couldn't start Xtightvnc process.

I don't quite understand what is happening. Says about the fonts, but I don't know to get the 'fixed' font installed. Googled with no results...

Thanks for any help,
Giorgos
