Thank you for replying but I'm unsure how that discussion answers my
question? It is related, but looks like they are talking about the
width of bold fonts causing an issue with zsh and vim (and others),
not about xterm complaining about missing fonts when it starts up.

My issue is not about bold fonts causing an issue, maybe they do.
I get complaints when starting xterm that it needs a font(s).
So what font package do I need to install to stop these complaints?

However, maybe I missed it (in the above bugs freebsd org discussion)
on which font I need to install, because there is so much discussion
about zsh, vim, bold widths, etc. So if anyone can point out the comment
there which tells me that, that'd be great, or just tell me directly
the name of the font package I need to download - thanks.

I guess I could be super-lazy and install EVERY font, but that sounds
like just a brute force solution, and I might miss it anyway since
not all fonts seems to have the word "font" in the package name.

But suppose I do install the font is needed, this leads onto my
second question that surely required fonts for xterm should be set
as dependencies for xterm. Yes?
So is that something that should be in the cygwin setup configuration?
