I Have not used X in a while ( a few months). I did a complete update to the latest Cygwin packages. When I logged onto the school system , I tried to open an emacs window and got the following:
Warning: Cannot convert string "-*-courier-medium-r-*-*-*-120-*-*-*-*-iso8859-*" to type FontStruct
Warning: Cannot convert string "-*-helvetica-medium-r-*--*-120-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1" to type FontStruct
Emacs title bar and menu bars are OK, but I get square boxes for the loaded file body.
The exact same system works OK from my other machine (a OS X system using the X-Window supplied with OS X). I use to be able to remote into the school's system and open Emacs windows with Cygwin-X.
Suggestions?
