Sorry for the mess-up above, that should have been "`cygpath -W`/Fonts" (but you still need the quotes). > > > mkfontscale -b -l /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/windows > > > > Is "ttmkfdir" needed here too? > > no. mkfontscale (and mkfontdir which is just a wrapper for mkfontscale) > can handle all true type fonts. > > the wrapper mkfontdir looks like > exec /usr/X11R6/bin/mkfontscale -b -s -l "$@" > > -b: read bitmap fonts > -s: ignore scalable fonts > > the correct way to setup a font dir is > mkfontscale $dir # scan Truetype fonts > mkfontscale -b -s -l $dir # scan bitmap fonts Ah, I see now. One more question: the above commands seem to ignore all of the "microsoft-cp12*" encodings except "microsoft-cp1252". I found that I needed to add an explicit "-a microsoft-cp1251" flag if I wanted the "microsoft-cp1251" encoding to be included. Why is that, and where is the default list of encodings coming from?
