Apologies for not attaching this to the correct thread; I'm not subscribed to the list and don't really know how I should go about that. But anyways.
Regarding the "Could not open default font 'fixed'" message: Stephen A. Goulet mentioned that he was able to fix the problem by following the instructions in the FAQ, substituting /usr for the non-existant /usr/X11R6/lib/X11 mount point. Mariusz Janczak then replied that he didn't have a /usr mount point either. I was in the same situation. The solution I found was to just umount *everything*: First /usr/lib, then /, and /usr/bin last because that's where the umount exe is located. *Then* reinstall the font packages. That fixed it for me. I suspect I only really needed to umount /, but I haven't tested that hypothesis. I'd sure like to know what the underlying problem is, though, it seems odd for this issue to appear out of nowhere in a working system. - Steve -- 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/
