I recently accidentally upgraded my Cygwin/X to Version 1.5.3.
One of the applications I use, amrvis, from Berkeley lab now crashes
when I try to get a line plot when it still works with a previous
version of Cygwin/X on another machine (the about dialog just says the
dialog is from 2004/3/25, but I think it's actually newer than that...
man for 'X' says version 6.8.2.0).
Here's what I could track down that seemed relevant.

XYPlotDefaults.H:52:#define DEF_LABEL_FONT "helvetica-10"

Any ideas? Is this even the right place to send questions?
Yes, this is the right place :-)
I'd guess you need to install the 'font-adobe-dpi75' package to provide the
helvetica font.
If this does fix your problem, you should perhaps raise a bug on the
application you are using that it should do something more helpful than just
crash when the font it wants to use is unavailable. :-)
