There's some more discussion at http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=10948 Installing the fonts font-isas-misc, font-jis-misc and font-daewoo-misc should also work around the problem, which can also be seen with other applications, as that ensures that at least one font exists for every charset. I agree that the error message sucks and should tell you the charsets which are missing and what string it was attempting to convert. > This topic came up last year, iirc the issue was this: > > http://invisible-island.net/xterm/xterm.faq.html#slow_menus -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/ FAQ: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/
