# それから以下のようにして、ファイル ~/.bashrc を編集します (ここでも“$”は入力しません。入力の終了には Control-D (^D) を使用します):

Installing

I have no idea where your browser put the package you have just downloaded. This is unfortunate as I can’t tell you exactly what to do next. But find the package (often it’s on the desktop) and then move it into C:\cygwin\home\<username>. (where <username> is whatever name cygwin gave you)

* Then open a cygwin window (by clicking on the cygwin icon)
* With luck you will now be in the directory containing the package you downloaded.
* Now type (The “$” or “#” are example prompts from the computer. Do not type them yourself):

$ bunzip2 fontforge_cygwin-*.tar.bz2
$ tar xf fontforge_cygwin-*.tar
$ cd fontforge
$ ./doinstall

* Then each time you want to run fontforge, start X11
o On recent cygwin systems you may start X by invoking:

C:\cygwin\usr\X11R6\bin\startxwin.bat

o Or:

startx

o While on older systems try:

$ xinit

o
This should bring up X in a large window that covers the screen and within that should be a subwindow, an xterm, running bash.
* From the xterm you should first start a window manager:

$ twm &

* And then you will be able start FontForge.

$ fontforge -new
