Unless you want those fonts for a particular reason, I wouldn't worry
about it, as those type errors are non-fatal. My Cygwin/X runs fine with
the following errors:
Could not init font path element /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TTF/, removing
from list!
Could not init font path element /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1/,
removing from list!
Could not init font path element /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/CID/, removing
from list!
Could not init font path element /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi/,
removing from list!

Ken
