I added Windows fonts to my personal local fontconfig after the drop breakage last year. I just redid fc-cache -v and all Windows fonts appear to be included. So it may not be fontconfig, but a recent update to cygwin64, such as the graphic lib updates used by gnuplot, had the same effect, as cygwin gnuplot is now using only the default font and size instead of specified Windows fonts and sizes. Has some recent library change stopped gnuplot using Windows fonts, as fontconfig no longer supports them by default, even though we can add them locally? Is some new directory setup or env var required for the graphics libraries to use fontconfig fonts? -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
