I'm having trouble finding a VNC server for Mac OS X that allows me to connect from a Windows box with German keyboard layout. I've tried the built-in desktop sharing and several versions of Vine but all of them had problems with several keys.
Does maybe anyone know about a working combination of a Mac OS X VNC server and Windows VNC client which properly supports a German keyboard layout on the client?
Update: I don't think the Windows client is the problem, because I have no issues connecting to Linux boxes. And I've tried several different clients.

First: I am answering your question. I cannot believe the number of posts which are not even addressing your question-at-hand.
I don't know how to verify this for sure.. but.. I have Mac OS 10.4.11 with OSXvnc and I am connecting with UltraVNC client, from Windows.
I use a US keyboard layout in UltraVNC client, and (I've never used German keyboard layout before, so let me know if I'm doing something wrong) I select "German" from the International preference pane.
When I open TextEdit, typing the QWER row produces:
qwertzuiop.Typing the numerical row with Shift held down produces:
!"ยง$%&/()=So, I guess what I did was: use US layout from Windows client. Set German layout on server.
