Dear Ken,

thank you very much for your help and the bug fix.
I do have the links in /etc/X11/fontpath.d
xorg-x11-fonts-75dpi:unscaled:pri=20 -> /usr/share/X11/fonts/75dpi
and they work fine within cygwin.

I tried to create corresponding links within windows by
mklink "xorg-x11-fonts-75dpi:unscaled:pri=20" ..\..\..\usr\share\X11\fonts\75dpi
but I the a message the the file name syntax is illeagal.
A quick search told me that a colon is a really forbidden file name component in
WINDOWS and the mask with " " did not help.
Interstingly a single colon works fine !?!

So why are there colon in the name of the symbolic link, which program reads these links
and is there a way for me to change my system to use a different link name ?
Best
Reinhard

    Hi Everybody,

    I have written a program "kuplot" that runs inside an X-window terminal through a
script:

    #!/bin/sh
    if( /bin/ps | /bin/grep XWin ); then
        export DISPLAY=':0';
        /bin/xterm -rightbar -sb -pob -title "kuplot secondary window"  -e /bin/kuplot;
    else
        /bin/rm -f /tmp/.X*-lock
        /bin/xinit "/bin/xterm" -rightbar -sb -pob -title "kuplot primary window exit last"
    -e /bin/kuplot -- "/usr/bin/XWin" :0 -multiwindow -logfile /dev/null;
    fi

    If I start this script from within CYGWIN (both 64 and 32 bit) the VT menu appears at
    the top of my Xterm, and I can change the font size.

    If I start the program from the desktop  icon, I do get the VT100 menu, but an error
    message of:

    /bin/xterm: cannot load font
    'misc-fixed-medium-r-semicondensed--13-120-75-75-c-60-iso10646-1'

    and a similar message if I try to change the font size.

    The program was installed into a separate folder at C:\Program files (x86)
    and within this I have folders
    bin        ! quite a few of the /bin/*dll and /bin/*exe
    etc/X11    ! exact recursive copy of /etc/X11 in cygwin including fonts/* (only gzipped
    filesthough?)

    usr/share/terminfo ! exact recursive copy
    /usr/share/X11     ! exact recursive copy

    I seem to be missing the proper link to the VT100 fonts , where would I have to look
for
    that?


You should have a directory /etc/X11/fontpath.d with some symlinks in it. Due to a bug
in setup, however, this directory may not have been created. The bug was just fixed
yesterday, so you should use the latest setup (2.872) and reinstall any xorg-x11-fonts-*
packages that you have installed.


Ken
