Yes, that's about what I figured. The fonts supplied by xmgrace were
replaced (in the cygport file) by a link to ghostscript's fonts, but
then those were replaced by URW fonts, which broke xmgrace.
OTOH the particular font files xmgrace is looking for are in yet another
place on Cygwin:
/usr/share/X11/fonts/urw-fonts
And indeed, making the /usr/share/grace/fonts/type1 symlink point there
does appear to fix the breakage.
So the minimal patch to grace.cygport (other than just leaving the type1
directory of xmgrace alone) would be:
$ diff -uwp grace.cygport{~,}
--- grace.cygport~ 2017-06-27 09:43:32.000000000 +0200
+++ grace.cygport 2020-01-28 00:08:56.345429500 +0100

An additional/changed dependency on the urw-base35-fonts-legacy package
would probably be needed, but I'll have to leave that to people who
understand Cygwin packaging.
