I tried adding the missing fonts. I tried SET LANG=C
Starting the X server is still unpredictable.  Now my log file 
(attached) shows:

2009-11-20 08:01:58 winClipboardProc - Could not open display, try: 1, 
sleeping: 4
2009-11-20 08:01:58 XFree86-Bigfont extension local-client optimization 
disabled due to lack of shared memory support in the kernel
2009-11-20 08:01:58 winInitMultiWindowWM - Could not open display, try: 
1, sleeping: 5

It also claims another window manage is running (and therefore shuts 
down), which is untrue (there is no other Xwin process running).
