I updated my Cygwin software about 2 weeks ago but didn't try
out the X-server.
Cygwin-X questions go to the cygwin-xfree list.
I mostly use the shell tools which seemed fine. But today I noticed
some problems in my X-based utils -- first from Linux-based
computers displaying onto my cygwin-box, and 2nd a slightly
different error when trying run X-utils locally.
I looked through the recent announcements/postings and saw the I
the ANNOUNCEMENTS about setup and X problems and updated everything
to the latest.
I'm still having problems.
The main and most serious problem for me is that remote X
apps and the local X-version of rxvt, open X-display windows
on the local cygwin-box, BUT allow no keyboard input.
Did you miss this FAQ?
<http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/cygwin-x-faq.html#q-i-cant-type-anything>
I also found that Local X-apps, Xterm and Xmined (randomly
chosen x-app) fail with (displayed in local cmd-BASH window):
Warning: Cannot convert string
"-adobe-helvetica-bold-r-normal--*-120-*-*-*-*-iso8859-*" to type
FontStruct
Warning: Unable to load any usable ISO8859 font
Warning: Unable to load any usable ISO8859 font
Error: Aborting: no font found
Or this one?
<http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/cygwin-x-faq.html#q-where-are-my-fonts>
FYI: If I start the non-X version of rxvt, I get double-wide
spacing of characters -- as if it is having some unicode
spacing problem.
Attached is output of cygcheck.txt.
Thanks for following the problem reporting protocol concerning cygcheck
output. :-)
