If I recall correctly, this warning is usually caused when you are using an UTF-8 locale (like the default C.UTF-8 locale), because when making the fontset, libX11 searches for matching fonts with all the encodings it knows about, and there are no matching fonts with CJK encodings (as no CJK fonts are installed). Installing the fonts font-isas-misc, font-jis-misc and font-daewoo-misc should work around the problem. You could also use a non-UTF-8 locale, but I wouldn't recommend that. I'm getting the same three warnings, followed by Warning: Cannot convert string -*-times-bold-r-normal--16-*-*-*-*-*-*-*,-*-*-bold-r -normal--16-*-*-*-*-*-*-*,-*-*-*-r-*--16-*-*-*-*-*-*-* to type FontSet I already have those three fonts installed, and my locale is en_US.UTF-8. Ah well. Seems like it was a good attempt at guessing the cause, but those fonts weren't the problem. I see some similar issues in the past in the list archive, including an unanswered post from Yaakov 17 Dec 2009 which looks exactly like this question. I've also seen posts suggsting other fonts or packages - none of which I see on cygwin, so I don't know if they're not available or just named differently. (Examples include gsfonts-x11, xfonts-base, xfonts-encodings, xfonts-scalable) Yes, I saw some of these as well, notably gsfonts-x11. I didn't jump to the conclusion that those particular fonts were my problem because they seem to vary from situation to situation. And, as you noted, gsfonts-x11 is not part of a cygwin package (at least from a package search). Any other troubleshooting you can suggest? I've uploaded at [1] a patched version of libXt, which includes some extra debugging output, including the name of encoding which is causing this warning, based on a patch at [2]. (This patch isn't really suitable for upstreaming as it needs to be wired up to libXt's rather confusing error reporting and localization scheme) This should at least allow us to discover the name of the encoding which is causing the warning.

Strange xterm scrolling problem introduced in XTerm(289)
A strange scrolling problem seems to have been introduced in XTerm(289) I have a large scrollback buffer. Now when I scroll back my xterm, anything that was previously above the top of the current screen appears indented about 20 spaces: - r w x - - - - - - + 1 r e i s e r t D o m a i n U s e rs 424739 Feb 12 - r w x - - - - - - + 1 r e i s e r t D o m a i n U s e rs 424740 Feb 12 -rwx--+ 1 reisert Domain Users 424749 Feb 12 14:43 callsigns.csv.~29~ -rwx--+ 1 reisert Domain Users 424749 Feb 12 14:44 callsigns.csv Can anyone duplicate this? Note that when I copied/pasted the above lines into gmail, the first two lines (in the scrollback buffer) appeared in a different font than the two lines that were not in the buffer. -- Jim Reisert AD1C, jjreis...@alum.mit.edu, http://www.ad1c.us -- 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/

(Scrolling with the shifted pageup/pagedown or with the scrollbar didn't produce it; it's the repainting due to resizes dragging text out of the scrollback which gives the result). thanks for the report (I'll work on this now) -- Thomas E.
