I hope this isn't a double post, my 1st msg was bounced for having
some sort in inline html. Anyway, I'm having the same issue. I
upgraded and now X doesn't start, and has the same error. I tried
reinstalling fonts, adding additional fonts, etc. Even renaming my
cygwin and download dirs and creating a fresh (unless there were
registry hooks from beyond the grave) install, same issue. I read
the upgrade info, but to my limited understanding the known issue were
around custom startup scripts, while I just use the vanilla stuff
that's provied. If I start the server from the start menu icon,
the server loads, but no x apps load. If, for example, from bash I
try and start xterm, I get a msg about display not set, which I fix,
and then:
$ xterm
Warning: Unable to load any usable ISO8859 font
Error: Aborting: no font found
-------------------------------------
Here's the error when I use startx instead: (and log file at the bottom).
$ startx

Here's what I have installed - my apologies if there's more here than's needed.
