There's an alternative I think for most VNC X servers (if not all). You
can pass a , separated list to -fp.

Like so:
../Xvnc :1 -fp /usr/share/fonts/X11/100dpi,/usr/share/fonts/X11/misc


My full script for XF4VNC looks like this:
../Xvnc :1 -fp /usr/share/fonts/X11/100dpi,/usr/share/fonts/X11/misc \
-httpd /usr/local/vnc/classes -httpport $httpport \
-alwaysshared -desktop "Magic Desktop" \
-rfbauth /path/to/vnc/passwd \
-rfbport $rfbport -rfbwait 120000 -geometry 800x600 -depth 24
