I reinstalled cygwin and can't seem to get the XServer to start. It fails
with "Fatal server error: could not open default font 'fixed'". Section 8.4
of the FAQ gives a fix, which doesn't seem to be applicable to my situation.
I've tried both re-installing the font packages listed and re-running the
applicable post install scripts. I included some relevant info, but if
y'all need anything else let me know.
Thanks in advance,
Brett
