missing fonts?

missing fonts?

[Siegmar Gross]

Hi,

I have upgraded Cygwin to X11R7.4. In the past I could read my e-mail
via "ssh" and "dtmail" from a Solaris machine with a nice font. Now I
get a font which is about twice the size of the old one so that I get
too few lines in my dtmail-window and therefore have to scroll a lot.
I have already installed all available fonts from my mirror site
without solving this problem. I don't know which fonts are not available
in X11R7 which were available in X11R6. Does anybody know which font I
need and where I can download the missing font for X11R7? Thank you very
much for any help in advance.

Siegmar

My workaround to this problem is to copy all fonts
from the solaris machine in /usr/openwin/lib/X11/fonts to a
cygwin user's directory (say /home/user/owfonts), then use

xset +fp '/home/user/owfonts/75dpi/'

David

ps: xset is a separate cygwin package which might have to be
downloaded
