TTF-font rendering not working anymore

[Frank-Michael Moser]

If you need another "me, too", here you are - but sorry, I know that 
this is not really helpful.

I'm not experienced with C programming at all, but if someone has a 
piece of code or anything else to be tested on my box - you are welcome.

Furthermore I found that I have the following line in my .xinitrc
   xset fp+ "$(cygpath -W)/FONTS"

This has worked for me a long time. Without that line I do not get any 
TTF-fonts listed by xfontsel. With that line they are listed but not 
displayed any longer. Is using that command deprecated. I remember that 
I have used a tool to create the description files "fonts.scale", 
"fonts.dir", and "encodings.dir" for that font path. I do not remember 
which tool it was. Maybe I have to recreate these files? Any ideas?

If anybody needs further information or testing, let me know.

Frank-Michael.
