Emacs crashes under the latest Cygwin/X11

New WinXP PC won't show login from Xserver.
Hello all, I am added a WinXP PC to an existing network. All other WinXP PCs have cygwin installed and are access an RS6000 running xdm on AIX without any problems. After installing cygwin and copying the startxdmcp.bat script from a working machine I can get a grey screen, but the login box never opens and after a minute the connection times out and it closes. I started with a barebones intall, but have finally installed all packages figuring I missing something, but that did not change anything. Since it's been several years since I set the network up I may have forgotten a step somewhere. Is there a permission on the AIX box that needs to be set, or is there something else I am missing? Thanks Chris
RE: Cygwin Fonts
Hello Igor, My apologies for sending you a question by personal email, I simply didn't know any better. From now on, I will post my question cygwin-xfree list as you indicated. Thanks for the tip, I was looking to make the fonts in the initial xterm window and what you just told me works great! It would be nice if these things were included in the documentation section somewhere on the Cygwin site. It is a great product which people like myself could benefit from if the information was a bit easier to find. I appreciate your time and effort. Thanks again.
