I still have questions. Good old setup_x86 fortuitously gave me the chance to see an error message involving one of these symlinks. I reviewed the setup log and read that apparently such a symlink was created as follows: io_stream:mklink (cygfile:///etc/X11/fontpath.d/xorg-x11-75dpi:unscaled:pri=20 -> cygfile:///usr/share/X11/fonts/75dpi) But there is no /etc/X11/fontpath.d directory on the system. The man page doesn't say in explicit procedural terms what the end user has to do to make fontpath.d exist and it doesn't seem to get created by setup. There are three occurances of fontpath.d on that page and none of them say where you should put it. Could we change it to be more tutorial, something like: If you wanted to modify the priority of the bitmap fonts for example, you could go to /etc/X11 and create fontpath.d and then here are some ln commands: ln -s /usr/share/X11/fonts/75dpi xorg-x11-75dpi:unscaled:pri=20 ... -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
