Hello Jake, it is simple. I can help with some details.
In order to use Xvfb you need to have a functional Xwindows environment (even without a graphical Xwindows server).
This explains why you get the font error.
To have it work you need to install the basic xwindows packages.
To do this in SLES do this:
yast2
- select "add/remove software packages"
- Open the "Filter" menu
- Select "Selections"
At this point you get the same groups you can use to select packages during setup
Add the "basic grapical system"
This will add all the packages you need for a basic Xwindows server.
At this point you can run Xvfb with all the pieces in the same pleace.
