For example, uninstalling XFree86-f100 delete all files from >/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi/ except for "UTRG__24.pcf.gz". Weird. There was another report of cygwin not removing files in the cygwin mailing list. Was that possibly the last in the list from a /etc/setup/whatever.lst.gz file? >3) We may need a short post-install script, based off of Xinstall.sh, >that runs mkfontdir in the /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/local and >/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc font directories.

How about mounting the font directory in binmode, too? cgf
