XWin wrong fonts after update
Hallo, I've been using since ages cygwin and XWin (XWin :0 -clipboard -multiwindow) on a Win XP Prof 32bit and I had no problems at all. Last update of cygwin I did was some month ago (I do not know exactly when). Yesterday afternoon I did again an update (like I always did without looking at he home page of cygwin) and I have realized that the X.org was updated. The problem is since then a graphical application which is ssh tunneled from a remote linux machine, which was working until the update, now is showing up with horrible (almost not readable) text fonts (Is there a way to attach a screenshot?). I have tried to do a new installation of cygwin on another machine. On the fresh installed machine the same application exports fine with the correct fonts. This means that the update is the problem. So how to get it work now? Thanks. -- 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/

RE: XWin wrong fonts after update
I know I can always tell which packages are to be updated, what if I do not what to? I mean I am not installing a beta distribution, so I assume that the things are enough tested before they are posted in a repository. Obviously it can happen that something is buggy or does not work for one or another reason the way it should, but for sure this is to be seen as a bug and not as stupidity of the people who install the update. And at the end of the day what should people do keep the old packages all life long? sometimes I will be forced to trust you and apply the update anyway, and the X.org major update is now old (November 2008). If something needs manual help before the update procedure can be performed (which should never happen if the update procedure is good enough), a warning message should pop up. Even if I accept (which I do not really) that I was not enough careful in applying the update what should I do now: kill myself? reinstall the whole system or are you willing to give an hint how to restore the functionality? If there is no point in attaching a screen shot and you are soo good in understanding what I mean, you would be soo good even in answering right away solving the problem instead replying with an useless polemic mail, right? p.s. I did googled and I did look in the previous threads and I did not find any answer to my question, that's why am am asking.

drop-down menu with multiwindow option doesn't work
Hi, I'm using Tecplot 360, a proprietary program written with a Motif toolkit. It runs on a Linux server and the display is a win2k PC with cygwin X Server 1.5.3. The problem only happens with the multiwindow option. The problem is with the drop-down menu. When I click it, it seems the menu appears behind the window and immediately disappear. I made a screenshot of it but didn't attached it because I'm not sure about the file attachment policy of the mailing list. There's a grey rectangle that briefly appears under the window. It's plain grey, with no text in it. I understand that the problem is probably related to the Windows wm, since it doesn't show up without the multiwindow option, but I was wondering if it's a known bug. Or maybe it's win2k specific? I've got a workaround: rootless option and any Unix wm, but I'd like to understand what is causing this problem. Thanks for your attention.

RE: 'no acceptable C compiler found in $PATH' error message on install
Jaroslav Rynik wrote: when I wanted to install, the program with cygwin (using package for NetBSD), the error message no acceptable C compiler found in $PATH came up. This list is for X related questions only, setting the follow-up address to the main cygwin list. However, I have installed cygwin directly from web not unsellecting any option, so the instalation should be complete. The program is installed in D:\pokus\cygwin directory. Only a limited set of packages is installed by default. You have to manually select the compiler(s) and other development tools. Just re-run setup.exe and select the appropriate gcc packages. To keep track all the steps I made, I send the picture of 3 screenshot showing all I have done until the error message appeared. I also attach the log file made by cygwin after the action. If you need any further information, feel welcome to let me know. It would have been better if you had followed the instructions in this link: Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html In particular, note the part about *attaching* the output from running cygcheck -svr. That would let us know which packages were actually installed. If re-running setup doesn't solve your problem, then that attachment would be very useful.

The interface could be more user friendly, but it does the job. I've not updated this PC to X11R7 because I need a server with accelerated GL. That hasn't stopped me from updating the rest of my cygwin packages. The rest of your response was just a pointless and unwarranted rant. Just follow the links I gave you, do what they tell you, and if you've still got a problem, we can start dealing with it. Even if I accept (which I do not really) that I was not enough careful in applying the update what should I do now: kill myself? Erm... only if you really, really want to, and it has to be your own decision. p.s. I did googled and I did look in the previous threads and I did not find any answer to my question, that's why am am asking. I just googled too, for fonts site:x.cygwin.com, and the first result was the cygwin X FAQ that I previously listed. The section on updates includes what is almost certainly the answer to your problem. If your problem genuinely is not covered by any of the links I gave you, then by all means post a follow-up, but in that case, you should tell us exactly what you *have* tried to resolve it, and why your problem isn't covered by the existing documentation. If you don't include that information, then we can only assume that the existing answers are good enough, but that you've not read or tried them. If you don't understand the documentation, then that is an equally valid point to raise. I assume from your email that you are not a native English speaker, and so it's possible that the language could be made simpler for you. If this is the case for you, then you should say which parts need clarifying. Remember, this is free software, written, maintained and supported by unpaid volunteers. Nobody owes you anything.
