This is a complex topic, and "It doesn't work" is not very helpful in diagnosing the problem So, again, see http://cygwin.com/problems.html I believe that a modern application using pango and xft should be capable of doing some glyph substitution. xedit not so much :-) Some facts which might be considered relevant: 1) Which application you are using? 2) Which glyph you are expecting to get substituted? 3) Which font you are using which doesn't have that font? 4) Which font you expect the subsituted glyph to come from? 5) Some evidence that this works correctly for the same software on other OS, and is a Cygwin specific problem? -- Jon TURNEY Volunteer Cygwin/X X Server maintainer -- 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/
