I had the above error when I attempted to run startxwin.bat. The FAQ says I should nudge the mailing list so here I am nudging. Does anyone know of a fix for this error? Let me know if you need any further details.
Yes, we all know the answer, but it looks like it took me quite a long time to get around to updating the FAQ :)
There is now a detailed answer were there was previously a request to nudge the mailing list by 2003-01-31... I hope I mistyped that as 2003 when it really should have been 2004. It would be a little silly if it really took longer than a year to revisit this issue.

Harold,
FWIW, you should be able to simply re-run any one of the /etc/postinstall/XFree86-f*.sh.done scripts... :-) Igor
I don't understand, please explain. Harold
Harold,
First, all the postinstall scripts for XFree86-fnts, XFree86-f100, XFree86-fscl, XFree86-fcyr, and XFree86-fenc are the same -- that's the "any one of..." part.
Secondly, umount is already part of these scripts, and there should be no need to reinstall the package just to re-run the postinstall script, hence my suggestion (to just re-run the script from the command line). Of course, if any of the font files are corrupt then reinstallation *is* needed.
