Yes, that's about what I figured.  The fonts supplied by xmgrace were 
replaced (in the cygport file) by a link to ghostscript's fonts, but 
then those were replaced by URW fonts, which broke xmgrace.

OTOH the particular font files xmgrace is looking for are in yet another 
place on Cygwin:

     /usr/share/X11/fonts/urw-fonts

And indeed, making the /usr/share/grace/fonts/type1 symlink point there
does appear to fix the breakage.

So the minimal patch to grace.cygport (other than just leaving the type1 
directory of xmgrace alone) would be:

$ diff -uwp grace.cygport{~,}
--- grace.cygport~      2017-06-27 09:43:32.000000000 +0200
+++ grace.cygport       2020-01-28 00:08:56.345429500 +0100

         popd

         make_desktop_entry xmgrace Grace xmgrace

An additional/changed dependency on the urw-base35-fonts-legacy package 
would probably be needed, but I'll have to leave that to people who 
understand Cygwin packaging.
