Hi,
one follows the other.
Try to find this file via Google or Yahoo, download it manually to the
location where cygwin stores its files on your machine and then try to
install it again.
This happens once in a while. Maybe the path is wrong or the file is
missing on the server.

Hi,
Trying to download and install Cygwin with Cygwin/X, I get an IO Error
opening 'xorg-x11-fnts-6.8.99.901-1.tar.bz2'. I have tried to install
from 5-6 different mirrors - allways with the same bad result. I have
tried to install 'xorg-x11-fnts-6.8.1.0-3.tar.bz2' as well and with same
result. Are there any problems with these packets. All other packets
download and install ok. I have now a running Cygwin but without X-term,
because when I start 'startxwin.bat' I get the error: 'Fatal server
error: could not open default font "fixed" '. Has anybody a suggestion
as to what goes wrong?
