Fonts reorganization and additions

[Ola Strömfors]

The update gave the following error:

   Unable to extract
   /etc/X11/fontpath.d/xorg-x11-fonts-75dpi:unscaled:pri=20

   The File is in use or some other error occurred.

   Please stop all Cygwin processes and select "Retry", or select
   "Continue" to go on anyway (the file will be updated after a reboot).

and a similar message about the misc fonts.

- Reboot did not help
- After uninstalling the packages, creating the directory
   /etc/X11/fontpath.d and installing them again, there are still
   fonts missing, e.g.

% xterm
Warning: Cannot convert string 
"-adobe-helvetica-bold-r-normal--*-120-*-*-*-*-iso8859-*" to type FontStruct
Warning: Missing charsets in String to FontSet conversion
Warning: Unable to load any usable fontset
