Bharat,

No need to apologize.  Proper netiquette is different in different
online communities.  No way to know them all...

Also, please review the available Cygwin lists for future posting.  This
list (cygwin-xfree) is for questions that relate to Cygwin/X.  If you have
general Cygwin questions, please use the main Cygwin list.

FYI, this information was in no way Cygwin-specific.  A Google search for
"xterm fonts" finds lots of recipes for this in the first page of matches.

For this kind of information, the Cygwin/X FAQ is a good place to look.
The commands I listed come almost directly from the xterm man page (see
the RESOURCES section and the fontMenu part of the MENUS section).

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.

If you're asking how to change fonts in nedit, I'd say the Nedit
maintainer would be a better person to answer this.  If it's the font size
of the initial xterm that bothers you, right-click on the xterm window
while pressing the Ctrl key, and select "Huge" from the fonts menu that
pops up.  You can also edit the .Xdefaults file in your home directory and
add the following line to it:

XTerm*VT100*font: 10x20

This changes the default font to something larger (the one that you get
with "Huge", in fact).

HTH,
Igor

New WinXP PC won't show login from Xserver.

2005-06-06 Thread Chris Powell
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




Emacs crashes under the latest Cygwin/X11

2005-06-06 Thread Zdzislaw Meglicki
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1


After a short bliss of Emacs stability under Cygwin/X11, the crashes
are  back -- major irritant. The crashes are accompanied by various

I have not seen this issue discussed on the mailing list, although
something similar has been flagged.

Any hope of a prompt solution to this problem?

Bharat,

Sending Cygwin-related questions by personal mail is frowned upon in the
Cygwin community.  Questions about Cygwin are usually best sent to one of
the Cygwin mailing lists (in this case, the cygwin-xfree list -- see
).  Not only will you get
access to more expertise than any one person could provide, but your
questions and the answers to them will be archived on the web for others
to find.

For your convenience, I'm Cc'ing this reply to the appropriate list, and
setting Reply-To accordingly.

If you're asking how to change fonts in nedit, I'd say the Nedit
maintainer would be a better person to answer this.  If it's the font size
of the initial xterm that bothers you, right-click on the xterm window
while pressing the Ctrl key, and select "Huge" from the fonts menu that
pops up.  You can also edit the .Xdefaults file in your home directory and
add the following line to it:

XTerm*VT100*font: 10x20

This changes the default font to something larger (the one that you get
with "Huge", in fact).

HTH,
Igor
