I think I can safely disagree.  I haven't never installed Cygwin on the 
machine I am testing with and double-click works.  In the registry there 
are three choices available for right-click: Edit, Generate, and Open.  
Generate is the default action which means Generate is what you get by 
double-clicking.  The is verified by "Generate PDF" being bold and first 
in the context menu.

You have seen my answer by now.  I did the test to get a log file by 
going to the command (DOS) prompt.

You have probably also see the new thread on the user list seeming to 
verify that this is a Ghostscript/font problem.

I have also started a thread on the devel forum of autopackage even 
though I'm not sure who's doing which part of the packaging.
