I'm having some issues with XEmacs, but with respect to GNU Emacs, when I start it, all the characters show up as open boxes. The console shows the following at startup: Warning: Cannot convert string "-*-courier-medium-r-*-*-*-120-*-*-*-*- iso8859-*" to type FontStruct Warning: Cannot convert string "-*-helvetica-medium-r-*--*-120-*-*-*-*- iso8859-1" to type FontStruct Would this be better asked on the Cygwin list?
