xdvipdfmx:fatal: This font using the "seac" command for accented, characters...

[Mark]

Dear Ken:

Thanks for the notice!

Btw., recently I experienced xpdf failing to start due to rebasement 
errors similar to what a few people reported here months ago, and the 
xpdf version from your repository worked for me. So I'd be happy to see 
your xpdf compilation in the standard cygwin distribution.

Best,

Mark
