How about
fontdir=/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts
wfontdir=`cygpath -w $fontdir`
mount -bfs $wfontdir $fontdir 2> /dev/null || mount -bfu $wfontdir $fontdir
IOW, create a system mount in binary mode on the font directory,
disregarding any existing mount on the same place. If the user is not
allowed to create a system mount, create a user mount instead.
This would break when there already is a user mount in text mode.
That seems pretty unlikely, though.
so long, benny
