Hello,
.........1.........2.........3.........4.........5.........6.........7
I use gnuplot and some bash-skripts on a Cygwin x86_64-Installation to
generate a number of plots. Filetype is png because plenty of colleagues
will look into the plots.
Usually gnuplot sends the message:
<======================
fontconfig: Couldn't find font. when opening font "arial", using internal
non-scalable font
======================>
That could be a solution if I could force gnuplot always to do so.
when exporting GDFONTPATH=/cygwin/x/Windows/Fonts
I can use Arial Font without error.
The Problem is that I do not understand which font is available or not.
In c:\Windows\Fonts\ there is a scalable Font called "Terminal", but I
get the error message:
<======================
fontconfig: Couldn't find font. when opening font Terminal, trying default
======================>
gnuplot then uses arial.
If I run fc-list I get exactly one empty line.
Since I use my skripts in productive environment I would like to have
deterministic behaviour.
What is chain of command between gnuplot, GD-Terminal, fontconfig and what
is involved there.
regards,
Axel

I can't answer your question, but the fontconfig issue is simply that
fontconfig doesn't know about the Windows font directory. See

Hi!
I'm a new user of Cygwin. I can't say how grateful I am
for such a nice product.
How do you set the fonts for rxvts in Cygwin/XFree86?
I couldn't find any info in the manual on how to do that.
That would be very helpful since the resolution of
this laptop I use sucks.

Myriam,
Questions on Cygwin/XFree86 should be addressed to the <cygwin-xfree at
cygwin dot com> list. I'm redirecting this message there. For your
conveninece, I've also set the Reply-To: field to point to the appropriate
list. Please remove <cygwin at cygwin dot com> from further discussion.
Igor

There are many ways to do it, all of which are mentioned in the man page
for rxvt. I'll mention two. You can specify the font on the rxvt
command-line with the -fn switch, e.g.
% rxvt -fn fixed
Alternatively, you can specify it in your $HOME/.Xdefaults file:
XTerm*font: fixed
Beware of the latter if you sometimes use rxvt without X, since the same
font name looks different when rxvt is displayed through an X server and
when it is displayed through Windows. The default "7x14" is larger
under X; it seems that "fixed" under X yields approx. the same font as
"7x14" under Windows.
Does anyone else notice the difference in font sizes between rxvt under
X and rxvt under Windows? Are there any solutions? It would be nice to
set an X resource for rxvt so that the font looked reasonable under
Windows and X.

My apologies, everyone. That should have gone to the cygwin-xfree
group.
