Hi, I sent this to you yesterday, but I think I've found the problem. Sending you the solution in case it helps. The reason for the message below appears to be because I originally set up cygwin to use DOS-type text files. I suspect this causes tar to extract the <font>.dir files with DOS-style line-endings which can't be read by xwin. The problem went away when I re-installed cywin to use UNIX-style lines. I got the information from an answer to an e-mail contained in the attached URL (see below).

The startxwin.bat just flashes up a couple of DOS windows and disappears and, after editing the startxwin.sh script, I worked out that the + XWin -screen 0 1024x768x32 command produces the message Fatal server error: could not open default font 'fixed' Can anybody give me some idea what the matter is?
