Yes, this error message from libX11 is pretty bad, and should tell you the charsets that are missing. If I recall correctly, this warning is usually caused when you are using an UTF-8 locale (like the default C.UTF-8 locale), because when making the fontset, libX11 searches for matching fonts with all the encodings it knows about, and there are no matching fonts with CJK encodings (as no CJK fonts are installed). Installing the fonts font-isas-misc, font-jis-misc and font-daewoo-misc should work around the problem. You could also use a non-UTF-8 locale, but I wouldn't recommend that. -- 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/
