Thanks for the reply I have come to believe this is an X problem after all and will add a post there. It seems that during my cygwin installation everything was installed in D: (D:\usr, D:\bin etc), except for usr\X11R6\lib\X11\fonts. which was instead installed as C:\cygwin\usr\X11R6\lib\X11\fonts . When I restore the latter XWin will run however it refuses to do so if C:\cygwin\usr\X11R6\lib\X11\fonts does not exist. I did add the font directory to D:\usr\X11R6\lib\X11\, but it did not make a difference. Possible bug in cygwin setup.exe?
