The patch works on Vista. However, for some inexplicable reason the font files must have the executable flag set. I only found this explanation: http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2005-11/msg00100.html hinting that "the executable flag means more than just execution" in Windows. This is not cygwin related, though. I incurred in this "bug" only because the cygwin svn did not set the executable flag on the files in lib/fonts. When the fonts are installed through the NSIS or cygwin installation tools, everything is fine, seemingly. -- Enrico
