I always found the X-windows fonts a bit of a mystery. Xfontsel shows
a cryptic font naming convention with fields that I've never been able
to find a complete and satisfactory explanation for. But I'm sure
that font design is complicated business, so my cmoplaint boils down
to the fact that there seems to be a dearth of online documentation
that makes this art accessible and comprehensible to the knuckle
dragging joe.
However.
I'm finding that cygwin's gvim no longer seems to use the same cryptic
font names as xfontsel. They are much simpler names. So it seems
that gvim doesn't use the X-window fonts. I'm at a loss for how to
select cygwin packages that will expand my font options in gvim. Can
anyone please explain?
