If your Xming installation is on the same computer as your Cygwin installation and the latter is under C:\cygwin, your command xset fp+ /usr/share/fonts would translate to something like xset fp+ c:/cygwin/usr/share/fonts The actual format expected by Xming might differ; see the output of xset q for its font path. You might need to experiment a little. Additionally, if I remember correctly, each directory containing a fonts.dir file must be specified in the font path explicitly (i.e. the directories in the font path are not searched recursively). So the font path extension you need is possibly rather something like xset fp+ c:/cygwin/usr/share/fonts/75dpi,c:/cygwin/usr/share/fonts/100dpi Horst
