Re: cygwin emacs failing siletnly
Thanks for all of the advice on fc-cache, but it doesn't help my emacs run. Does anyone else have any ideas why the fonts are causing emacs to blow up?

As I said, the silent failure has no core dump and no log messages anywhere. Nothing is displayed in the shell window.

You said in one of your messages of October 13 that fc-cache is failing. emacs-X11 is not going to be able to find any fonts if there's something wrong with your fontconfig setup. You might try running fc-cache under strace to see if that gives any clues.

Re: cygwin emacs failing siletnly
Try re-setting your fonts.

Re: cygwin emacs failing siletnly
Thanks for the pointer to fc-cache. On which machine should this be run? a) the machine hosting the X-Server b) the machine on which emacs is running fc-cache ran successfully on a - the machine hosting the x-server but fails silently on the virtual machine hosting emacs and xterm.
