Dave and Ralph,

Thanks for your quick responses and help.

That did it. I can now run fontforge. Thanks again!

(Surely cygwin packaging could have been done similar 
to the Make model so a single "install the latest 
fontforge" command would automatically install cygwin, 
x windows, and all necessary libraries, with nothing 
unnecesary? It seems weird to have to spend hours of 
realtime to get the advice necessary to get an 
ordinary program running, not to mention having to use 
two different diagnostic tools, cygcheck and the 
module search page.)

David
