Just a quick note on VNC. We have experienced that fonts in the Matlab menubar and the context menus in SPM are not properly displayed when using VNC . This seems to be related to VNC defaulting to ISO10646 instead of ISO 8859. registry. We solved the problem by changing (ie restricting) the fontpath in vncserver /usr/ to $cmd .= " -fp /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc/"; The fonts look slightly funny (Courier) on SPM buttons, but are easily readable even on a 1024 by 768 resolution. -Christian Dr. Christian Büchel Neurologische Universitätsklinik, Haus B Universitäts-Krankenhaus Eppendorf Martinistr. 52 D-20246 Hamburg Germany Tel.: +49-40-42803-4726 Fax.: +49-40-42803-9955 [log in to unmask] www.uke.uni-hamburg.de/kliniken/neurologie/pages/mitarbeiter/buechel_c.htm ----- Original Message ----- From: "Darren Weber" <[log in to unmask]> To: <[log in to unmask]> Sent: Friday, December 13, 2002 2:43 AM Subject: Re: Slow updating of Matlab SPM windows for remote SPM on Linux box > A nice advantage of VNC is that it doesn't crash the server processes when > the remote viewer is closed or interrupted etc. You can use the remote > viewer to start a process, close the remote viewer and the process should > continue, so you can later restart the viewer to check where it's up to. > I've only found that you might have to be careful about setting up the > default Xwindow manager for the VNC sessions.
