startxwin.sh doesn't start, getting "could not open default font 'fixed'" error

I searched but I didn't see an answer to this problem.  I am running 
Cygwin on Windows XP.   When I attempt to run startxwin.sh, I am getting 
an error that says "could not open default font 'fixed' ".

Reading the User's Guide and checking out similar posting.  I see that I 
am supposed to umount my /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts directory.  However, 
my directory isn't a link, there is nothing to un-mount, it is a 
physical directory.  What am I missing here?

thanks,

Jerome
