OK, I started the installation of Cygwin on a spare drive.

I got the following error after installing and starting gnome-terminal:

**
ERROR:/usr/src/ports/gnome/gnome-terminal/gnome-terminal-2.32.1-1/src/gnome-term
inal-2.32.1/src/terminal-app.c:1461:terminal_app_init: assertion failed: (app->s
ystem_font_desc != NULL)
Aborted (core dumped)

I Googled and saw this:

http://git.exherbo.org/?p=gnome.git;a=blob_plain;f=packages/gnome-desktop/gnome-terminal/files/0001-avoid-runtime-dependency-on-libgnome.patch;h=6338b5e6f91bf57b73f20c92270f2eb1e80661b7;hb=HEAD

So I executed the following command:


gconftool-2 -s -t string /desktop/gnome/interface/monospace_font_name
"Droid Sans Mono 9"

and gnome-terminal started up just fine.
