Please do not use so many different fonts when posting since it is a pain to edit your post, if there is something to edit - for yourself and also for moderators, thanks Smilie

I just checked my XP box and noticed there are very different permissions on DLLs in \WINDOWS\system32 and below. I guess a restore will be best - maybe one of the Win XP recovery option (I have no clue, sorry) can do some kind of roll-back?

-R stands for recursive for many Unix/Linux commands. If unsure next time, do not hesitate to ask here.
If using cygwin just for tests, maybe stay in the default home directory of your cygwin installation and do not change out of it, ie. no "cd c:" if not necessary Smilie

NAME
dh_installxfonts - register X fonts SYNOPSIS
dh_installxfonts [debhelperoptions] DESCRIPTION
dh_installxfonts is a debhelper program that is responsible for registering X fonts, so their corresponding fonts.dir, fonts.alias, and fonts.scale be rebuilt properly at install time. Before calling this program, you should have installed any X fonts provided by your package into the appropriate location in the package build directory, and if you have fonts.alias or fonts.scale files, you should install them into the correct location under etc/X11/fonts in your package build directory. Your package should depend on xfonts-utils so that the update-fonts-* commands are available. (This program adds that dependency to ${misc:Depends}.) This program automatically generates the postinst and postrm commands needed to register X fonts. These commands are inserted into the maintainer scripts by dh_installdeb. See dh_installdeb(1) for an explanation of how this works. NOTES
See update-fonts-alias(8), update-fonts-scale(8), and update-fonts-dir(8) for more information about X font installation. See Debian policy, section 11.8.5. for details about doing fonts the Debian way. SEE ALSO
debhelper(7) This program is a part of debhelper. AUTHOR
