Running it now, which actually runs "emacs-X11" through a link, looks like "emacs -nw". It's definitely not using X11. If I run it from a Bash prompt in rxvt, it comes up fine (with the minor annoyance that setting the frame-position at 0,0 doesn't mean the same thing as it did before), and the fonts are definitely nicer. :) > > Ken > > -- > 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/ -- 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/
