RE: vnc server

I really appreciate the help. Unfortunately, modifying my .Xdefaults
to change the font for rxvt didn't solve the problem. It still
reports:

X Error of failed request: BadName (named color or font does not exist)
  Major opcode of failed request: 45 (X_OpenFont)
  Serial number of failed request: 67
  Current serial number in output stream: 69

Any other suggestions?

By the way, if it makes any difference, I am using the Xvnc binary
that can be found on Carl Worth's iPaq page
(http://www.east.isi.edu/~cworth/ipaq.html)

Thanks for the help,
Travis
