The FAQ listing for section 6.5. Fatal server error: could not open default
font 'fixed'
does not work. For one thing, the suggested remedy does NOT change the
mounting of the /usr directory.
A more direct fix would be to update the Xinstall.sh to do the following:
1. Check mount output for either / or /usr mounted as textmode.
2. Unmount the offending partition:
umount /usr
umount /
3. Remount root or usr :
mount --binary c:/cygwin /
mount --binary c:/cygwin/usr /usr
