Re: Problem with starting X server

Just to confirm that the bug indeed *seems* to have crept back. I
updated to the latest release and then the server would not start due to
the "cannot find font 'fixed'" problem. Re-mounted the fonts directory
in binmode, reinstalled just the fonts and it all works. Fortunately I
remembered this work-around from some time back when I last had this
problem. Sorry, I have no recollection when or what version.
I guess most people won't have any problems because they install Cygwin
with Unix newlines, thus making textmode and binmode identical. Thus no
cacophony of complaints.
