NP, but can we keep this on the list please? (See http://cygwin.com/acronyms/#PPIOSPE for a few good reasons why to keep discussion threads in the open instead of private mail. For a start, someone else might have had time sooner than me to answer this question...) > When I follow your instructions, I find the following > missing DLLs: > > cygpng12.dll and cygxml2-2.dll > > The fact that these start with "cyg" might indicate > that these are part of cygwin. Absolutely so. In order to find out what cygwin package contains any given file, you plug its name into the search box at http://cygwin.com/packages/. Doing so tells us that cygpng12.dll is part of the libpng12 package, and that cygxml2-2.dll is part of the libxml2 package. > Since I downloaded > cygwin from the official site (or one of its mirrors) > and followed the installation instructions, I have no > idea what to do next.

You'll need to re-run setup.exe just like you did when you followed the fontforge install instructions (assuming you referred to http://fontforge.sourceforge.net/ms-install.html), only this time select the libpng12 and libxml2 packges. They'll both be in the Libs category, rather than the X11 category that you were told to look under last time. > BTW, are you the famous David Korn who developed the > Unix Korn shell at Bell Labs? :) Get asked that a lot.
