[Matt Goto <mgoto at ccl dot northwestern dot edu>]

i just finished installing cygwin on a windows xp home box.  i tried
starting x using the startx command and i got the following message:

i have attached the XWin.log and a screenshot (in png format) of the
error dialog that popped up.

it seems like i might be missing some fonts, but i am no x whiz, so i
am not sure of that.  can you help me figure out what i need to do to
start up x-windows?  if you need additional info, please let me know
and i will try to get it to you.

thanks in advance.
