Hello all
Running Cygwin/X release 6.8.2.0-2 to connect to an XDMCP.
Cygwin/X compains "could not init font path element /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TTF/". The directory exists, has good permissions, I ran mkfontscale there (which created fonts.scale), but still. Can anyone offer other things to check?
After that works...: how exactly do I use TrueType fonts? Do they have font names such as the traditional "-adobe-courier-..."? I saw syntaxes like "shadow=1:xft:size=10" etc, but cannot find references to those.
Thanks,
Nitzan
