xterm 320-1 won't start with XTerm*faceName set in .Xresources

xterm 320-1 won't start with XTerm*faceName set in .Xresources

Ran setup64.exe to update cygwin today, and then the xterm window 
wouldn't come up.  I was able to troubleshoot it down to the 
XTerm*faceName in my ~/.Xresources

Commented out, it works, but I much prefer the other font.  Any ideas?

Perhaps you are missing your preferred font.  What had you specified for
XTerm*faceName?

BitStream Vera Sans Mono

Is there something that I can do to produce more debug information out 
of xterm as it launches.

Honestly, I'm not even sure how to get a list of available fonts.

Only partly: Xft avoids giving useful error messages.

You can use the xterm -report-fonts option to show what it does, but if there
are no TrueType fonts available, I would expect no useful output.

fc-list outputs nothing.

So, again, sadly, I have no idea where to go from there.

this is strange

Is it functional ?

$ /usr/bin/fc-list --version
fontconfig version 2.11.1

Would setting the environment variable FC_DEBUG=4095 (or some other
value) be of any use?

The output of fc-list is empty on this one particular Cygwin setup
here, but with FC_DEBUG I get:
$ FC_DEBUG=4095 fc-list | head
FC_DEBUG=4095
        Loading config file /etc/fonts/fonts.conf
Add Subst match
[test]
        pattern any family Equal "mono"
[edit]
        Edit family Assign "monospace";

Add Subst match
[test]

FC_DEBUG is documented at
http://www.freedesktop.org/software/fontconfig/fontconfig-user.html
(first match for FC_DEBUG) but it consists of bits for features and
4095 turns on 12 of them. 128 might be the most important value.

Yep.

bneu@aos3 ~
$ /usr/bin/fc-list --version
fontconfig version 2.11.1

I ran an strace on fc-list, and it really didn't yield any major finds.  
Then I used setup64.exe to reinstall existing font packages, and a bunch 
of others --- xterm and fc-list works now.

Not worth further troubleshooting.  Moving on.

Thanks for the help!

likely the script
/etc/postinstall/fontconfig.sh(.done)

had some issue the first time.
