$ cygcheck -c | grep -v OK

Cygwin Package Information
Package                  Version            Status
apache                   1.3.33-2           Incomplete
xorg-x11-bin             6.8.99.901-1       Incomplete

After seeing that xorg-x11-bin was incomplete, I reinstalled it again
using the setup program. Then:

$ cygcheck -c | grep -v OK
Cygwin Package Information
Package                  Version            Status
apache                   1.3.33-2           Incomplete

But the problem remains the same.

The tail of XWin.log is:

Could not init font path element /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/CID/,
removing from list!

Fatal server error:
could not open default font 'fixed'
winDeinitMultiWindowWM - Noting shutdown in progress


The directory /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/CID/ does not exist in my installation:

$ ls -l /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/

Any other suggestions?
