The one annoyance that remain is this: Despite installing package=font-misc-misc (recommended by http://cygwin.com/cgi-bin2/package-grep.cgi?grep=nil2 ) via setup.exe, everytime I start an xterm I get > Warning: Cannot convert string "nil2" to type FontStruct This doesn't seem to cause any functional problem, it just annoys. (I.e. I hafta hit Enter to get my prompt back.) Uninstalling and reinstalling font-misc-misc (via setup.exe) was no fix. Any suggestions?
