 I suspect that some bugfixes which were present in the CYGWIN branch on 
 freedesktop are missing in the branch which was the source for the 
 latest release.
 
 Most likely fonts.dir is not written in binmode. Patching mkfontscale 
 might help or forcing mkfontscale to work in binmode when started from 
 font-update.

I see that the fix on the CYGWIN branch is to do this. So I'll make the
change in the X.org repos.

REe: xmgrace fails to start

2006-07-19 Thread Charles Werner

I attempted to downgrade to the previous X-server version,
but experienced the same errors as before with starting xmgrace.

What is the approved way to downgrade cleanly?
