RE: setting default font path

[Suhaib Siddiqi <ssiddiqi at inspirepharm dot com>]

Brain,

You must use forward slashes and the fullpath for example

Xwin -screen 0 800x600 -depth 32 -engine 4 -ac -terminate -co
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/rgb  -fp
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Speedo/:/usr/X11R6/l
ib/X11/fonts/Type1/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi/:/usr/X11R6
/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi/


Xwin is a cygwin application and understands UNIX stayles paths.

I hope this help
Suhaib
