I suspect that some bugfixes which were present in the CYGWIN branch on 
freedesktop are missing in the branch which was the source for the 
latest release.

Most likely fonts.dir is not written in binmode. Patching mkfontscale 
might help or forcing mkfontscale to work in binmode when started from 
font-update.
