Harold,
I had this same problem. Your suggestions resolved the font problem. The
first umount returned no messages, the second gave a "file not found" error.
Does this problem indicate trouble in the setup scripts?
Best of all, I can type into xterm for the first time in months.
Is there someplace I can find more about the problems caused by installing
Microsoft Services for UNIX along with Cygwin Xfree86?
Thanks,
Jim
