Couldn't startx. could not open default font 'fixed'

2008-06-03 Thread Scott Hendrickson 
-- But, following the FAQ didn't fix the problem --

I tried: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/cygwin-x-faq.html#q-error-font-eof
I also verified that there were a lot of font files in misc. I also
tried reinstalling.

The only thing that seemed to fix the problem was selecting Unix /
binary rather than DOS / text when installing. With Unix / binary
(what I had intended to do), the x server worked. But, with DOS /
text (what I accidentally selected) it did not work.

I hope that helps anyone else with that problem (assuming that the FAQ
didn't work).

I deleted cygwin and completely downloaded if from the Internet and
reinstalled all packeges (in stable version), but the problem still
remains.
