 Hi,

 I know I am asking a subjective question here, but still I think I may
 get a response that fits very well into my style :-)

 I am using cygwin + xterm to login to a linux box. I am currently
 working on C codes. I have experimented a lot with Xfontsel and found
 -*-courier-medium-r-*-*-14-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-* to be the kind of font
 that I can possibly use. But even this is not upto the mark.

 1) Can somebody suggest me some good fonts on the basis of experience,
 something that is good to read/write C codes?

I use Envy Code B on Windows. The TrueType version of it can be used
by X. Steps to install:

1. Copy 'Envy code B 10pt.ttf' to /usr/share/fonts/TTF
2. !! Rename the font so no spaces are in the file name !!
3. mkfontsel /usr/share/fonts/TTF
4. mfontdir /usr/share/fonts/TTF
5. xset fp rehash

There's also Envy Code R

Hi, Larry,

I have tried use FAQ's step to unset XkeysysDB on my cygwin, but still not 
work.
also I have using command 'source /etc/profile.d/xinit.sh' to unset 
XkeysysDB.
But, still not work.
How could I make sure the XkeysysDB unset properly?
Anyone could give me a hand would appreciate.

Regards
josh
