Re: cygwin 1.7.0-63 problems with X programs

Thanks, Jon!

Installing the three font collections you suggested seems to have
solved all THREE of the problems I mentioned. I can only guess
that somehow the font/locale issues prevented some .Xdefault
information from being loaded or used properly, but I attach
the .Xdefaults file anyway.

The way I know it's not being used is that my .xinitrc has the
following for strting xemacs, i.e., no override of the default,
and the window definitely came up a different shape without
the isas, jis, and deawoo fonts installed.

xemacs -T xemacs -iconname xemacs -iconic &

In any case, I guess that as we move into cygwin 1.7 we'll
save a lot of blood, sweat, and tears if we point out the need
to install these fonts.

In any case, now LANG=C.UTF-8 works well, as does LANG=en_US.UTF-8!

Best wishes -- Eliot
