Tried adding the fonts but that didn't work. I don't use any vnc services
because, 1) they consume enough cycles to seriously degrade speech recognition.
2) I would get a visual feedback loop.
I have Ubuntu as my host. I then run vmware guest XP as a platform for speech
recognition. I then use plink to tunnel back to the host and run the
application I need to run. I tried xdmcp but the network performance between
guest and host significantly degraded response time. It's not so bad when I run
a single application at a time through X11. If I were to run VNC in this
environment, I would show the Linux desktop which would show VMware workstation
which would show VNC which would show the Linux desktop...
I use vmware because it does the least bad things to my audio to a guest. In
general, Linux does not handle USB audio well and specifically fails miserably
on the VXI B200 headset. Yes, I'm working the problem with the right people but,
as always I want things yesterday. :-)
