title: Font Issues with Latest Cygwin Release
body: <p>I have been using Cygwin for as long as I can remember (maybe 20 years now?).   I have, however, only used X11 in Cygwin sporadically, and am having trouble getting a few things to work that I think should be fairly common.  I’ve been researching the FAQs and docs and stacks and forums and Googles and so on, and progress has been quite slow.</p>
  <p>Specifically, fonts seem to be an issue for me now, requiring an 'xft:' prefix to find fonts (which took me most of the day yesterday to finally hack back to some level of functionality).  To get, Lucida, for example, I could run:</p>
  <pre><code>  rxvt -fn &quot;xft:Lucida&quot;
  </code></pre>
  <p>When I try to run cfg.py (which is just a program to create a visual control flow graph for a given Python program), all the text is “blanked out” with boxes.    I am theorizing that this is related to the graphviz library not being compatible with the new definitions of fonts.</p>
  <p>Trying to debug this, I ran a “hello world”  for tkinter, and it did work.</p>
