X Won't Execute File, No Error Given

["Mitch N" <pdxtramitch at gmail dot com>]

I'm trying to use FontForge in X.  I've followed the FontForge
instructions exactly, but when I get into X to run Fontforge, it goes
like this:

me@mycomputer
$ twm &
[1] 7824

me@mycomputer
$ fontforge -new

me@mycomputer
$

No FontForge, no error message, just a new prompt.  I don't know what
to make of it.  Others have had this problem, too.  Here's the forum
where others explain the problem:

And here are the instructions I followed for installing and running
FontForge with Cygwin:
http://fontforge.sourceforge.net/ms-install.html

Is there a way to get X to show what's going on between my "fontforge
-new" and the next prompt?  Some log generator, debugging mode,
something?

Thanks!
