[Image-SIG] Cygwin font rendering problems

[Steve Holden]

Is anyone else running PIL under Cygwin? I've been doing so with great 
satisfaction for quite a while, but suddenly it seems that I've done 
something (sigh, again) to the font rendering.

I suspect this is a local installation fault given that everything 
worked so well for so long, and that the 1.1.5c1 release works perfectly 
under Windows.

Now in Cygwin fonts opened using ImageFont.truetype() don't render - I 
just get the background. Both 1.1.5b2 and 1.1.5c1 exhibit the same 
behavior, but I'm pretty sure that 1.1.5b2 was working a few days ago. 
No errors reported by selftest.py, and the build summary says everything 
looks good.

Anyone got any ideas what I may have done wrong?

regards
  Steve
