fonts?

[Roberto Pavan]

Hello,
 
I've had some trouble getting XFree86 4.2 to run on my cygwin
installation. I installed the system on my Win2k machine using the
latest setup.exe from cygwin.org.
 
I'm getting a Cannot Open Display: 127.0.0.1:0.0   error when I try to
run startxwin.sh
 
A look at the logs shows me a series of errors like this one: Could not
init font path element /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi/, removing from
list!
 
I thought this might have been an issue regarding the text mode used
during install as outlined in s. 6.6 of the FAQ, so I reinstalled the
system using setup.exe.  Unfortunately, this doesn't seem to be the
case, as in fact, no fonts were installed. That is, the directory
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/ doesn't exist.
 
I haven't found anything in the FAQ regarding this. Can anyone help me
to remedy the situation?
