Found the problem via the mount command, thanks Harold. The WIN32 fonts directory was no longer in existence (I had moved it) thus bash couldn't use the mounted directory.
umount worked, and I can now "ls /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts" successfully. The fonts were already in E:\Cygwin\usr\X11R6\lib\X11\fonts - on the same partition as the rest of Cygwin. Fonts no longer listed under mount - guess they don't need to be mounted anymore since they're in the standard directory. Anyways, I can use X now, so thanks for the help. > You are first going to have to figure out where the Cygwin/XFree86 fonts got > installed to.
