After did some explore on my system, I found a very strange thing:
the permissions on directory /etc/postinstall and all scripts
contained in it are no correctly.  Below is a piece of it:

...

,,,

I compared to another normally run computer, the scripts in the
directory should all be rwxr-xr-x for the file owner.

then I tried to rename fontconfig.conf.done to fontconffig.conf and
change permission for it, but I *can not*, the 'chmod' command takes
no effect on the file.

What's wrong with my installation?  I was using offline installation,
and should be no corruption.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

I removed cygwin1.5 on both of my two computers, one is a laptop and
another is a desktop, they are all Windows XP. =A0I then installed
cygwin 1.7 for them, the result is strange. =A0The laptop seems okay,
but the desktop, after I tried re-install many times, still always
fail when I=A0execute fa-cache on it, the error messages are:

...
/cygdrive/c/Windows/Fonts: caching, new cache contents: 598 fonts, 0 dirs
/cygdrive/c/Windows/Fonts: caching: failed to write cache
... (repeat for other font directories)
...

But If I install cygwin1.5 on the desktop, it is always okay with fc-cache.

What's wrong with it?
