xterm 185-3 doesn't seem to have freetype/xft/fontconfig/etc support. it ignores the faceName resource, and doesn't recognize the -fa command line option. also cygcheck shows no dependence on C:\cygwin\usr\X11R6\bin\cygXft-2.dll. however, version 185-2 is fine.
That would be because the configure script didn't find the libraries - I assume, since the configure script normally tries to check for those. It looks for xft-config (the script that tells how to compile/link). Perhaps that has been renamed?
I think I had another xft-config in /opt/... without actually having libXft and friends in the path that that script pointed to. I have uninstalled those test packages now (which were modifying the PATH through profile.d scripts) and the rebuild of 185-4 seemed to find libXft and friends just fine.
