Open a regular bash window (no X), and type "echo $PRINTER". If that prints the correct thing, try "bash -c 'echo $PRINTER'". If that works too, type "xterm -display 127.0.0.1:0", and from that xterm type "echo $PRINTER". If you see the correct printer in all 3 cases, the "Print Window" command should work (it does for me). Alternatively, since all xterm does is pipe stuff to lpr, does "lpr -P //quantex2/hplaserj /etc/passwd" print /etc/passwd to that printer (just to make sure lpr works)?

xterm and right click and 'print window'
Has anyone found a way to make this feature work, on any version of windows, with any printer? I've had no luck so far, and am grasping for clues. I've defined my $PRINTER as //quantex2/hplaserj, which prints okay from windows, but not cygwin. Dave in Largo, FL

Thanks Alex re the font-cache explanation. As for the one size issue -- I understand that TrueType fonts are scalable, but the question is whether the fact that xlsfonts etc will only show "size 0" won't confuse applications.

Re: Middle mouse button / Logitech MX-700
Thanks Alex. I did indeed find something in the archives -- one written by you (which I am sorry to say did not help me), and another written by Harold. Harold suggests that Logitech might be registering a new (USER-type) windows message for the middle button and suggested that the original poster do some detective work to see if that's the case, and if so then some code might be included in next Cygwin/X releases. There was no continuation to that thread... I'll see if I can find something in MSDN or on Logitech's site, but I seriously doubt that they do that since I suspect that would "break" more than one Windows application.

You can scale them to any size you want. Use the entries from xfontsel as base and just add the fontsize as illustrated in my previous mail. bye ago -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.gotti.org ICQ: 126018723

Middle mouse button / Logitech MX-700
Hi all I can't get the scroll wheel to act as the middle mouse button in Cygwin/X. When I press it (eg in Xterm) I don't get "paste". I actually get nothing. I have a Logitech MX700 mouse and Cygwin/X 6.8.2.0-2. If I run Cygwin/X with "-emulate3buttons 50" and click both buttons Xterm indeed pastes. I changed (in Windows Control Panel) the middle mouse button's "action" to be "Middle Button" (it was "Universal Scroll" at first) and that does not help. What's the obvious thing I'm missing? tia, Nitzan
Re: TrueType problem + question
Alex, Thomas Thank you both. It works, of course... In the mean time I figured out that I do need to run mkfontdir. There are a couple of follow-up questions: 1) What is FT's "font cache"? Is that related to the fonts.cache-1? I assume if I just delete it it will get rebuilt. 2) There is no fonts.alias file. I assume that's why xfontsel will only show one size per font. Is that the way you work as well, or do you create a font file (eg a PERL script)? Cheers, Nitzan
