Re: Problem with starting X server

Searching the list archives may unearth the relevant thread.  However, the
bug may have crept back, or may not have been propagated to the latest
Cygwin/X release.

I suspect that some bugfixes which were present in the CYGWIN branch on freedesktop are missing in the branch which was the source for the latest release.


Most likely fonts.dir is not written in binmode. Patching mkfontscale might help or forcing mkfontscale to work in binmode when started from font-update.
