After did some explore on my system, I found a very strange thing:
the permissions on directory /etc/postinstall and all scripts
contained in it are no correctly. Below is a piece of it:
...
-rw-r--r-- 1 woody None 794 2008-10-28 10:31 font-sony-misc.sh.done
-rw-r--r-- 1 woody None 794 2008-10-28 10:32 font-sun-misc.sh.done

I compared to another normally run computer, the scripts in the
directory should all be rwxr-xr-x for the file owner.
then I tried to rename fontconfig.conf.done to fontconffig.conf and
change permission for it, but I *can not*, the 'chmod' command takes
no effect on the file.
What's wrong with my installation? I was using offline installation,
and should be no corruption.
Thanks in advance.

Subject: fc-cache: failed to write cache
To: cygwin-xfree AT cygwin DOT com, cygwin-apps AT cygwin DOT com
Hi,
I removed cygwin1.5 on both of my two computers, one is a laptop and
another is a desktop, they are all Windows XP. =A0I then installed
cygwin 1.7 for them, the result is strange. =A0The laptop seems okay,
but the desktop, after I tried re-install many times, still always
fail when I=A0execute fa-cache on it, the error messages are:
...
/cygdrive/c/Windows/Fonts: caching, new cache contents: 598 fonts, 0 dirs
/cygdrive/c/Windows/Fonts: caching: failed to write cache
... (repeat for other font directories)
...
But If I install cygwin1.5 on the desktop, it is always okay with fc-cache.
What's wrong with it?
