Ah that one - I normally run it from a shell and supply the hostname on the command line so I don't see it. You can control it with X resources, e.g. add this to .Xdefaults (and xrdb -merge .Xdefaults to have it take effect immediately) :- Ssvnc.serverDialog.dialog.label.font: -*-helvetica-medium-r-*-*-12-*-*-*-*-*-*-* I'm not sure what the default is. > > http://www.karlrunge.com/x11vnc/ssvnc_help.html talks about fonts for > > the ssvnc Tcl frontend, but not about the viewer itself.. > > The ssvnc(1) application's font is totally different and it looks nice, > and that was even more interesting for me; I thought the two were using > the same "engine". The 'engine' is the same (ssvnc just calls out to the normal vncviewer binary), but it's a Tcl/Tk front-end app, which takes care of tunnelling and command-line parameters for vncviewer. One non-obvious feature that is occasionally useful (for example, if you leave something on a running desktop on a machine at home and need to access it remotely), if you set 'use SSH', then in 'options', you can 'automatically find X session' - this will attempt to ssh across, run x11vnc on the remote side and connect to your X desktop.
