missing font and fatal error on startup

I have just downloaded the freely available VNC software package
vnc-4_1_3-x86_linux to a workstation freshly installed with Fedora version 10
Linux release. When I launch the VNC Server I consistently get a fatal
error after the software is unable to find a default font. At the end of
this
mail please find a snapshot of my log file.

I have looked through some of the history of this problem and don't see
a quick and easy answer. I have seen a post that indicates that there
may be a problem with the vncserver.conf file and to look at the contents
of the xorg.conf file to see what should be in the vncserver.conf file.
However, I can't find either of these files on my system.

I am new at the Linux ways and hope that I can resolve this issue with
your assistance.

Kind regards,
Patrick
