In the recent font reorganisation, the package 'font-bh-ttf' was made obsolete, replaced by 'xorg-x11-fonts-Type1'. Now, 'xorg-x11-fonts-Type1' doesn't provide 'Luxi Sans' - in fact, this font is no longer provided in Cygwin. Is this intentional? I'm guessing this might be because 'Luxi Sans' has a non-free licence - see [1]. If the user has the 'dejavu-fonts' package installed then 'fc-match "Luxi Sans"' will find 'DejaVu Sans', so at least mscgen will pick a sensible font by default. I'll rebuild mscgen to use 'DejaVu Sans' as the default font - hopefully I'll get round to this at the weekend. Dave.
