Re: Race condition that leads to random crashes in cygwin-based builds.

Xemacs: Adding a Font

Thanks Mark (for the Cygwin/X suggestions). I went the X-route in Cygwin only because that is what I did in Gentoo. But Xemacs works perfectly well in Cygwin w/o starting an X-server. So, the X-server appears to be a needless step. However, the fonts displayed by Xemacs (when not using X-server)
