It is only emacs for X-windows that fails silently.
emacs-nox works perfectly.
As I said, the silent failure has no core dump and no log messages

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.
Thanks

Thanks

I don't know if this is a Fedora 25 question or a cygwin X question
since I upgraded at the same time.
Ever since my Fedora 25 upgrade, the menus from programs running on
the Linux box using cygwin x as the X server appear off screen at the
top left. It is impossible to use these menus.
