I searched but I didn't see an answer to this problem. I am running
Cygwin on Windows XP. When I attempt to run startxwin.sh, I am getting
an error that says "could not open default font 'fixed' ".
Reading the User's Guide and checking out similar posting. I see that I
am supposed to umount my /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts directory. However,
my directory isn't a link, there is nothing to un-mount, it is a
physical directory. What am I missing here?
thanks,
Jerome
