I ran into the same problem described in Debian Bug #366881.

The fix worked on Gentoo ~amd64:
Code:
$ vncviewer ipaddr
Connected to RFB server, using protocol version 3.7
Performing standard VNC authentication
Password:
Authentication successful
Desktop name "user@hostname"
VNC server default format:
  32 bits per pixel.
  Least significant byte first in each pixel.
  True colour: max red 255 green 255 blue 255, shift red 16 green 8 blue 0
Warning: Cannot convert string "-*-helvetica-bold-r-*-*-16-*-*-*-*-*-*-*" to type FontStruct
Warning: Unable to load any usable ISO8859 font
Warning: Unable to load any usable ISO8859 font
Error: Aborting: no font found

$ echo "*popup*font: fixed" | xrdb -merge

$ vncviewer ipaddr
(works)

What should I do to make that permanent? File a bug, and for which package (tightvnc or an X component)? or an rc file setting?

Thanks.
