Hi,
I just installed the latest version of cygwin on an XP system.
Except for a problem which is explained in the FAQ related to the
re-installation of the fonts, everything went quite smoothly.
However, I ran into problems when running 'gv' and 'xpdf'. 'gv'
pops a window saying "unknown device x11" and comes back with the
following messages in the standard error:
Warning: Cannot convert string "-*-Helvetica-Medium-R-Normal--*-140-*-*-p-*-ISO08859-1" to type FontStruct
Warning: Cannot convert string "-*-Helvetica-Medium-R-Normal--*-120-*-*-p-*-ISO08859-1" to type FontStruct
Warning: Cannot convert string "-*-Helvetica-Medium-R-Normal--*-100-*-*-p-*-ISO08859-1" to type FontStruct
Warning: Cannot convert string "-*-Helvetica-Bold-R-Normal--*-120-*-*-p-*-ISO08859-1" to type FontStruct
And nothing comes on the window, although it displays the number
of pages.
'xpdf' although works, it says:
Warning: Cannot convert string "-*-helvetica-medium-r-normal--12-*-*-*-*-*-iso08859-1" to type FontStruct
Warning: Cannot convert string "-*-times-bold-i-normal--20-*-*-*-*-*-iso08859-1" to type FontStruct
Warning: Cannot convert string "-*-times-medium-r-normal--16-*-*-*-*-*-iso08859-1" to type FontStruct
and after exiting it prints 6 times:
'Warning: XtRemoveGrab asked to remove a widget not on the list'
I should also mention that I didn't have the font problem with
version 1.5.9 that I installed on another machine.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Dan
