That worked - Thank you... Now I can run Emacs (from the non-production Solaris machine I'm allowed to patch). Now I'm just trying to work out how to get readable fonts. The behavior seems weird. The fonts appear to be huge and they looks like a bitmap font scaled up. 10 point Courier is really quite large, and 8 point is too small. It's all very strange. Is there some dpi setting I should tweak? I tried -dpi on the XWin command but it didn't seem to have any effect. (background: My XP is at the default dpi, though I did tweak it up and back down a few months ago) I don't suppose there is any way to get the Cygwin of a couple of months ago? That just worked. This is really frustrating, but thanks for your help, without which it would be a disaster.
