Igor Pechtchanski wrote: Shouldn't this be fonts.dir (note the s)? Sorry, Its a typo, all these missing ss and the wrong case. I did not paste my actual script Just re-typed it in the mail. The actual code is exactly as you said. Do you Google: http://google.com/search?q=ttmkfdir+cygwin? The matches show that ttmkfdir is not part of the Cygwin/X distribution, so you must've downloaded it separately. FWIW, I'm going to do some work with fonts soon, and might consider making ttmkfdir into a Cygwin package, installable via setup.exe. There is a sourceforge project for ttmkfdir. They only have ELF binaries for download. It was easier to find it on the net than to compile. I found it packaged with cygwin/XFree86 so I assumed it was a part of cygwin/XFree86. Any way, it is a part of many Linux distributions. It looks odd that cygwin that leaves within Windows will not take advantage of windows fonts. It should be part of the Basic-X package, this and the 2 fonts I specified in the 2nd letter. Than the post-Install script should prepare the windows fonts directory for use by X. The standard fonts that are now part of cygwin/X should only be optional in a different (none default) package. As they are not necessary. (and not as beautiful). And they triple the size of the base X package. (this is Just my $0.02) I don't know how much help it is, but I found that a directory of symlinks (instead of a symlink to a directory) works with XWin. So, try something like ln -s /cygdrive/c/WINDOWS/Fonts/* /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TTF and see if it helps. And, as you've already noticed, mount will also work. Igor I like the mount way so I'll keep it. It might be considered by cygwin1.dll teem to change symlinks to directories from windows shortcut-files to mount points. As it looks like the current way is not so transparent for UNIX applications. Thank you very much for your reply, and grate work to all the X teem. It is totally production ready. Free life Boaz

Newbie: GB layout, M$ Natural keyboard does not work
Hi, I have a Cygwin installation on XP and have recently installed the latest X11 software for it. Working fine, except for one minor irritation. I have a Microsoft Natural keyboard, UK layout. X seems to ignore (for all practical purposes) the options -xkbmodel microsoft -xkblayout gb which I specify on the Xwin.exe command line. In X, if I use setxkbmap -print, it correctly displays that it's an MS keyboard with UK layout, however several keys are always incorrect, like Shift-2 which is @ instead of , Shift-3 which is # instead of £, and the usual suspects of \/| which are also incorrectly mapped.

Hm. There is a file encodings.dir in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1.
Does it work if you copy it to the TTF directory?
Nope. But, FWIW, I was thinking of doing exactly what you proposed below.
IMO, all of the microsoft-cp12* encodings should be added as default for
Cygwin/X, since those are what Windows uses.

I'm sure there's a way to make the above shorter, but if it works, why
bother? Looks reasonable.
Thanks,

Dear Mike, Good day. I think that's help. Many Thanks.

Run './configure --help' and it is very likely there is some argument to tell where the X stuff is. Using the path to locate libraries is a Windowism.
