xfree issues on cygwin - that old cannot find font 'fixed' problem

["S James S Stapleton" <stapleton dot 41 at osu dot edu>]

I can get it working - I did before, but not before tomorrow, and I was 
hoping to get it fixed today. I have the problems with the cannot find font 
'fixed'. I tried the stuff in the FAQ, but the directory didn't not appear 
in the mount list (nor any directory below it except "/"). I could not 
manually mount it, mount complained /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts was invalid).

The font dir does show up, and the misc subdir has 446 entries.

Yesterday, I had my notebook with me, which runs FreeBSD, and I just tar'ed 
and copied over my fonts directory, untar'ed it, and the problem was solved. 
Sadly, I left my notebook at home, and yesterdays attempt at installing KDE 
under cygwin broke cygwin bad enough I had to reinstall.

Any suggestions on getting this fixed today? Did I do something wrong with 
the mount procedure?
Since I saw this in mailing list archives, yes I am running in windows 
linebreak mode.

Thanks,
-Jim Stapleton
