A. do you have the same problem when you remove the export XDG lines? They aren't required.<div>B. If so, you're probably best logging in as a different user and executing vncserver. I'm not a linux expert so I couldn't tell you how to get two different font configurations for the same user. I'm sure there is a way though.<br>

</div>It works -- in that I can start up a VNC session without starting up a<br>
mythfrontend.<br>
<br>
It doesn't work in that I have changed my default font size to 40<br>
points so I can read stuff on my television screen when I'm sitting on<br>
my couch. I get the same 40 point font size in my VNC window, which<br>
is much to large for the little screen on my laptop :-) (Actually, 40<br>
points is too large for many of the applications that I try to run<br>
when using the TV as a console -- that's part of the reason I wanted a<br>
VNC setup in the first place -- so I could configure stuff and run<br>
some applications occasionally w/o having to tie up the TV.)<br>
<br>
Thanks again for the tip and the help.<br>
