Yeah. They do their own font rendering, rendering to glyphs which are then sent to X as a GlyphSet, right?

Oh, I was not aware of the GlyphSets extension. VNC only has a very simple bitmap based protocol that can provide updates to the bitmap at a rectangle granularity.

It has no concept of offscreen bitmaps, alpha blending, or anything like that.
