Hello and happy new year,
I've been installing Cygwin/X and I had a problem with the "fixed" font
which was not found on XWin startup.
I read the FAQ, section
8.4. Fatal server error: could not open default font 'fixed'
I followed your tips and always the same message ...
Then I used the font server and tried to locate a few fonts. What I found is
that the font server couldn't
locate -adobe-utopia-regular-r-normal--12-120-75-75-p-67-iso8859-1, but it
could find it using the ending loosing
match -adobe-utopia-regular-r-normal--12-120-75-75-p-67-iso8859-1*
I came to start XWin back by
specifying -adobe-utopia-regular-r-normal--12-120-75-75-p-67-iso8859-1^M as
a font name.
The same for the cursor font :
cursor^M instead of cursor.
This is probably linked with the initial setup parameter which allows to
choose between DOS or UNIX end-of-lines.
That would be great to mention it in the FAQ.
Thanks a lot for your work.
Best regards,
Mikaël
