I'm getting the same three warnings, followed by Warning: Cannot convert string=20=20 "-*-times-bold-r-normal--16-*-*-*-*-*-*-*,-*-*-bold-r-normal--16-*-*-*-*-*-= *-*,-*-*-*-r-*--16-*-*-*-*-*-*-*"=20=20 to type FontSet but not the compose key message. I already have those three fonts installed, and my locale is=20=20 en_US.UTF-8. I see some similar issues in the past in the list archive, including an=20= =20 unanswered post from Yaakov 17 Dec 2009 which looks exactly like this=20=20 question. I've also seen posts suggsting other fonts or packages - none of which=20=20 I see on cygwin, so I don't know if they're not available or just named=20= =20 differently. (Examples include gsfonts-x11, xfonts-base,=20=20 xfonts-encodings, xfonts-scalable) Any other troubleshooting you can suggest?
