I have xfig installed under cygwin. The program runs fine, but if I try
to input text at size 30 in font Helvetica (which I often do for
transparencies), then it does not find the fonts and displays the text
as an ugly 12pt times roman.
A similar problem on my work computer running under linux was solved by
the administrator doing an atp-get to install gsfonts-X11. How do I do
a similar thing with cygwin? (Ghostscript and ghostview are
installed, but apparently that does not automatically provide the fonts
mentioned.)
