You know, after sending this reply I actually went and read the FAQ I was
pointing you to. It looks to be quite out of date in that it refers to the
Xinstall.sh script, which is not how XFree86 is installed any more.
What you need to do is run the Cygwin Setup program, and on the 3rd screen,
there is a pair of radio buttons under the label "Default Text File Type".
Make sure "Unix" is picked, not "DOS".

The "Could not init font path ..." error is in the FAQ:
http://xfree86.cygwin.com/docs/faq/cygwin-xfree-faq.html#q-removing-font-path-element
Don't know if the "Xlib locale" business is a side-effect of the font
problem, or something else.

Hi,
Could anyone help me with this problem please? I keep getting the
following messages after upgrading XFree86:
$ xterm
Warning: locale not supported by C library, locale unchanged
Warning: locale not supported by Xlib, locale set to C
Warning: X locale modifiers not supported, using default
Failed to open input method
The Xwin.log says:

Could not init font path element /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi/,

I have the following entries in my .inputrc file in my home directory to
enable UK keyboards:
set meta-flag on
set convert-meta off
set output-meta on
but the pound sign doesn't print anything now as well. I presume that's
related to this problem.
Thanks for any help
