The following packages have been updated in the Cygwin distribution:
*** xorg-x11-base-6.7.0.0-4
*** xorg-x11-bin-dlls-6.7.0.0-3
*** xorg-x11-fscl-6.7.0.0-3
Changes
=======
1) base, bin-dlls - Include missing files for the font library's
FreeType and X-TrueType backends. (Harold L Hunt II - CodeWeavers)
2) fscl - mkfontscale was crashing during the 'make install' step under
Cygwin 1.5.9, which resulted in a null fonts.scale, which prevented
mkfontdir from creating a proper fonts.dir and encodings.dir. This is a
rebuild under the April 6th snapshot of Cygwin, under which mkfontscale
does not crash. You do not need a snapshot of Cygwin unless you need to
run mkfontscale for some very good reason before Cygwin 1.5.10 is
released. (Lev Bishop, Harold L Hunt II - CodeWeavers)
