I read the cygwin-xfree installation and FAQ, and read the entry about the
Could Not Open Default Font, then I re-ran setup.exe to change the default
file type to Unix, then I reinstalled the 100dpi fonts. Then I thought,
maybe a setting in the Cygwin.DLL is still loaded and I need to reboot. I
rebooted, and still no luck.
So, what do you do if the FAQ doesn't help you and startx still gives the
default font error? Should I boot into linux to unpack the fonts? This
seems pretty weird.
