This is not a Cygwin problem, it's a WinNT problem.  If the fonts don't 
have execute permissions for the user trying to invoke them, they can't 
be dynamically loaded, and zip doesn't store permissions (and the 
originals were POSIX files anyway, so the 'correct' permissions were 
never there in the first place).
