One of the changes in #328 omitted a step in that process, making it fail to see that a bold font was specified. The warnings have been there for a few years. You simply got extra warnings due to the bug. As far as I know, #330 fixes that issue. > > | > > | I installed all the X11 fonts which were described as "core font" > > | (surprisingly a reinstall of "xinit" did not install these), > > | but still I get the above messages.

Shouldn't these fonts be a dependency of xterm? Some packagers don't think so. The ones that are used by default are the xorg "misc" fonts (though I don't recall what the package name in cygwin is -- package names for X fonts differ in every system that I've seen). -- Thomas E.
