Questions about Cygwin packages should always be sent to the Cygwin

believe I've found an issue in Cygwin associated with the
urw-base35-fonts package and I've found an email suggesting that you are
the maintainer.
I found the same problem as mentioned in this post
<https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2018-01/msg00135.html>: xmgrace fails on
cygwin64.
Some detail: xmgrace uses the type 1 fonts in
/usr/share/ghostscript/fonts. It appears to access them using a font
mapping contained in one of its configuration files, named appropriately
enough, FontDataBase. It contains this:
14
Times-Roman Times-Roman n021003l.pfb
Times-Italic Times-Italic n021023l.pfb
Times-Bold Times-Bold n021004l.pfb
Times-BoldItalic Times-BoldItalic n021024l.pfb
Helvetica Helvetica n019003l.pfb
Helvetica-Oblique Helvetica-Oblique n019023l.pfb
Helvetica-Bold Helvetica-Bold n019004l.pfb
Helvetica-BoldOblique Helvetica-BoldOblique n019024l.pfb
Courier Courier n022003l.pfb
Courier-Oblique Courier-Oblique n022023l.pfb
Courier-Bold Courier-Bold n022004l.pfb
Courier-BoldOblique Courier-BoldOblique n022024l.pfb
Symbol Symbol s050000l.pfb
ZapfDingbats ZapfDingbats d050000l.pfb
These font files - the files listed in the last column of this file -
seem to belong in the urw-base35-fonts package, indeed this package
search
<https://cygwin.com/cgi-bin2/package-cat.cgi?file=x86_64%2Furw-base35-fonts%2Furw-base35-fonts-20170801-2&grep=n021003l>
finds them there. However they aren't there anymore. I'm guessing they
have been renamed? Does this sound correct? Using find to look for the
files, I can't find them anywhere...
Those type 1 fonts are now in the following files in
/usr/share/fonts/urw-base35/:
NimbusRoman-Regular.t1
NimbusRoman-Italic.t1
NimbusRoman-Bold.t1
NimbusRoman-BoldItalic.t1
NimbusSans-Regular.t1
NimbusSans-Italic.t1
NimbusSans-Bold.t1
NimbusSans-BoldItalic.t1
NimbusMonoPS-Regular.t1
NimbusMonoPS-Italic.t1
NimbusMonoPS-Bold.t1
NimbusMonoPS-BoldItalic.t1
StandardSymbolsPS.t1
D050000L.t1
