I then installed cygwin 1.7.3 from scratch. My first issue was I could not find startxwin.bat. I know it was supposed to be moved to /bin/startxwin.bat, but its not there. I built my own shortcut to start xwin "C:\cygwin\bin\run.exe /usr/bin/bash.exe -l -c /usr/bin/startxwin.exe". That seems to start up the server just fine. However, when I click on "Applications->xterm", nothing happens. I started up a normal cygwin window and manually try to start xterm via "xterm -display localhost:0". This gives me the following: > > bash-3.2$ xterm -display localhost:0 > Warning: Cannot convert string "-adobe-helvetica-boldo8859-*" to type FontStruct > Warning: Unable to load any usable ISO8859 font > Warning: Unable to load any usable ISO8859 font > Error: Aborting: no font found > bash-3.2$ > > I then tried to install all the fonts I could find, nothing seemed to fix the issue. > > I should also point out that I think something else was dorked up in the installation, as the PATH variable failed to include basic things like "/bin". I had to manually add them back in my .bashrc (which the Cygwin.bat script fails to read, so I have to manually source it). > > When I first run Cygwin.bat, here is my environment.
