Windows, X11, cygwin, fonts and Xming

For years I used the X11 server that is part of cygwin. It seemed to be a bit flakey but there didn't seem to be anything better. Every now and then I would run into a problem where it would seem to work but xterm would complain about missing fonts. So, I downloaded and installed xming-fonts (from https://sourceforge.net/projects/xming/files/Xming-fonts/7.7.0.10/Xming-fonts-7-7-0-10-setup.exe/download) on my local node (not the node that was running xterm) and that fixed the error. These days I no longer use the cygwin X11. I use XMing: see http://www.straightrunning.com/XmingNotes.
