Broken Font Loading
I recently accidentally upgraded my Cygwin/X to Version 1.5.3.
One of the applications I use, amrvis, from Berkeley lab now crashes
when I try to get a line plot when it still works with a previous
version of Cygwin/X on another machine (the about dialog just says the
dialog is from 2004/3/25, but I think it's actually newer than that...
man for 'X' says version 6.8.2.0).
Here's what I could track down that seemed relevant.

Yes, this is the right place :-) I'd guess you need to install the 'font-adobe-dpi75' package to provide the helvetica font. If this does fix your problem, you should perhaps raise a bug on the application you are using that it should do something more helpful than just crash when the font it wants to use is unavailable. :-) -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/ FAQ: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/

How do you upgrade to XR117
I have been looking through the cygwin mirrors for the last two days trying to find the X11R7 packages via setup.exe. When I go to the X11 tab, I can not find any X11R7 packages. I have tried to install them twoce and all I get is X11R6. Sorry if this a lame question, I just do know where to look, google doesn't seem to provide any specific advice other than use the cygwin setup.exe file and it will update automatically. Thanks -J I am hoping this upgrade solves the matlab problem I posted about yesterday. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/How-do-you-upgrade-to-XR117-tp21736592p21736592.html Sent from the cygwin-xfree mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/ FAQ: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/

Re: cygwin and matlab 7.7 problems
jchas5 wrote: I have a pretty interesting problem, I installed a new version of matlab on an ubuntu linux box. Two users in my group are using cygwin on their PC's to connect and export the matlab displays back to their local machines. Both users are having problems with the Matlab gui; both are experiencing anomalies in the Menu functions, where they can not click on menu functions, i.e save, open, new, etc. They are able to run these commands using 'hotkeys', but clicking on the option in the pull down menu is not possible. I can't work out from what you've written here what exactly changed when the problem started. Did you upgrade matlab and it stopped working (when it was working before)? Or you're trying to set this up and it has never worked properly? When I tested it using my OSX, 10.5.5, and export the Matlab gui back to my machine, there are no functionality problems. I can access all menu items normally. Using a windows emulator, I installed cygwin and experienced the same problems. When I installed it I noticed that the installer was the latest release, and the X11 packages are for X11R6. I noticed there was a new release of X in November 2008, X11R7, but I can not find out where or how to install this update to see if this fixes the menu bugs. All the sites recommend just using the cygwin setup.exe and selecting all the X11 packages, but that does not seem to work. That being said I have a few questions... 1. Has anyone else experienced this problem with Matlab 7.6 or 7.7 using cygwin? 2. Does anyone know how to update the X11R6 to X11R7? http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-xfree-announce/2008-11/msg0.html Just running the cygwin setup.exe program will update to X11R7.4, unless you are taking special steps otherwise. Perhaps you could work through http://x.cygwin.com/docs/ug/setup-cygwin-x-installing.html (now with up-to-date screenshots :-) ) and say which step gives you a problem?
