You are either missing fonts or they are corrupted. Someone reported that
installing using Xinstall.sh gave this problem on his system. He installed
Xfnt.tgz manually. Please check mail archive

Hi
I am trying to install Xfree on cygwin and have followed the instructions as
posted in the pdf documentation. XWin.exe starts but then aborts with the
error message

Can you give me a pointer to where I might find the problem.
