can't open fontforge--get error cygxml2-2.dll not found

[naomi gill]

Well, thanks all anyway. Turns out it actually was a Cygwin problem. I did a 
lot of digging and found out that the libxml2 package has somehow managed to 
escape installation. I installed the missing component and the problem has 
been solved.

Sorry if I annoyed anyone.
