Which makes me wonder if there are other such cases...

I disagree.  In order not to defeat the purpose of modularization, the
stubs only select a bare minimum upgrade path (if anything) instead of
everything the old package once contained.  If you do otherwise, then
xorg-x11-bin-dlls would have to select all 20+ libraries, xorg-x11-devel
all the libdevel packages, etc., and I don't want to go that route.

OTOH, if a package explicitly requires a particular font (either in code
or in the app-defaults), then it should be added as a dependency to that
package.

GTG.  You could make the .cygport a bit simpler as attached, but what
you did is also correct.  If you don't mind, I'll add this to Ports SVN.

Since this is already in Debian etch, I'll proceed to upload.  Please
send an announcement to cygwin-xfree-announce.

Thanks!
