Re: Error report
To clarify, my fonts directory was mounted in binary mode. The command-line output I included was before the FAQ fix and should show that. There's a new thread on the font problem that seems to concur with my observation.
Re: Error report
Ive had this problem also with a recent install attempt. Also, I have looked at the FAQ, and Im not sure what to do since the mount point appears valid, there are many files present at /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/. Specifically there are about 400 at /usr/X11R6/libX11/fonts. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I fixed my problem using the FAQ, but I'm not sure that the FAQ is completely right. The process of unmounting and reinstalling worked, but the diagnostic info seemed off. When the problem was occurring, the fonts directory appeared to be mounted correctly in binary mode, and the files were present. Are you saying that you've applied the FAQ fix (which simply told you to re-mount the fonts directory in binmode) and it worked for you, even though mount showed the fonts directory *already* mounted in binmode? BTW, another directory that needs to be binmode-mounted is /tmp, otherwise some X utilities (e.g., xkb, but there are probably others) won't work. HTH, Igor Included are version info (cygcheck.out), error output (startx.out), and the mount info (mount.out). All of the included results are before I applied the FAQ fix. Again thanks.

No need to mount the fonts. Let me look at my mount table. I have X org. Bobby
