In my case, however, the Latex installation is not coming from Cygwin but from Windows. So installing these fonts will have to be done outside of Cygwin. Just to make this all a trifle more interesting, I suppose :).
Actually, it should now be trivial since Phil has figured out how to specify Cygwin fonts in any location using the Cygwin pkgconfig package. See the updated (yet again) doc/docbook/README.developers file. Since you appeared to miss that commit, are you subscribed to the plplot git feed so you are receiving e-mail from what looks like our SF plplot git repository? That feed helps keep track of all git changes. See http://sourceforge.net/p/plplot/plplot/ci/b2f453344f15fb46400927262a5cd8b35b7acc6d/ that was mentioned as Phil's last git commit by the feed. Phil is the "strong silent" type; his commit message (virtually) says it all :-) Seriously there is a lot of value in that approach. I have spent a lot of time trying to figure this issue out at one remove, and sent lots of e-mail with the possibilities. That turned out to be mostly a waste of my time since Phil just (mostly silently and probably without much help from my e-mails) went ahead and solved it directly. Impressive work, Phil, and except for one final terminating message, I hope to be silent now on this topic. :-) Alan __________________________ Alan W.
