Sorry, font server font path elements are disabled because of an upstream bug (See [1],[2]) If you really, truly need font server support, I would suggest you use xorg-server 1.8.2-1 (unfortunately I can't arrange for this to be offered through setup due to setup limitations, so you'll have to get it from the cygwin time machine [3]), or agitate for this upstream bug to be fixed. > I have tested this on two machines, both running Window XP Professional > SP3.
