+The vncserver script will normally examine your system to figure out where it
+stores its X11 fonts and then generate an appropriate font path argument for
+Xvnc based on this. If your system stores its X11 fonts in a location that
+vncserver does not know about, however, then this may fail. In that case,
+vncserver will then try to contact the local X Font Server (xfs) on port 7100.
+Not all systems have xfs installed and running, so this may fail as well. In
+that case, you can manually specify a font path by using the
+.B \-fp
+argument to vncserver.
