Because they ARE included in the cygwin-xfree distribution (just not installed into the *windows* font area). So the provided defaults work great with rxvt in X mode, and look a LOT better than the *true* default for X mode, the 'fixed' font. I've been meaning to change (downgrade) the app-defaults/Rxvt file to something that works okay with stock windows when using rxvt in native mode, even if it looks like crap in X mode -- the next time I make an rxvt package. So far, there hasn't been a reason (above and beyond this configuration issue) to do so. -- Chuck -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
