Re: xserv 4.3.0-29

Run 'mount' in a Cygwin bash shell. You should see something that includes a line like the following:

C:\cygwin\usr\X11R6\lib\X11\fonts on /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts type system (binmode)


If you see "type system" in that line, then run the following in your Cygwin bash shell:

umount /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts

Else, run the following

umount -u /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts


The problem is that your mount-point for your fonts directory points to a dead or invalid directory and needs to be removed.

You know need to re-run Cygwin's setup.exe and make sure that the XFree86-fenc and XFree86-fnts packages are installed or re-installed.

thanks for pointing me to /tmp/XWin.log

This shows, that the font directory is not properly installed.

When I try to reinstall, the installer hangs when trying to create the sub drirectories. ( As a matter of fact I cannot create /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts in bash,, gives 'mkdir: cannot create directory 'fonts': No such file or directory' )

I have no idea what has happened, maybe something wrong with xp?

Thanks
