And please attach your cygcheck output, as requested at http://cygwin.com/problems.html Ken Thanks Ken GNU Emacs 24.3.1 (x86_64-unknown-cygwin, GTK+ Version 3.8.2) of 2013-08-20 'fc-cache -fsv' enables some usable fonts Nimbus Mono L, QuickType II Mono, Bitstream Vera Sans Mono that weren't there before. The Lucida console family list I like shows in Set Default Font but still gives errors of the type error: Invalid font name, -bh-Lucida Console-normal-normal-semi-condensed-*-11-*-*-*-m-0-iso10646-1 When I try to use it. Try this: emacs -fn Lucida Console-9 Alternatively, put the following line in your .Xdefaults: Emacs.font: Lucida Console-9 Both work for me.

What am I missing in the system?
