installing xfree

You are either missing fonts or they are corrupted.  Someone reported that
installing using Xinstall.sh gave this problem on his system.  He installed
Xfnt.tgz manually.  Please check mail archive

Hi

I am trying to install Xfree on cygwin and have followed the instructions as
posted in the pdf documentation. XWin.exe starts but then aborts with the
error message

Fatal server error:

=========================================================

Can you give me a pointer to where I might find the problem.
