You need to use the "-dpi 100" parameter for XWin.exe. It is not enough to change the order of the fonts in the font path, you have to actually tell it to use the 100 dpi fonts by default.
I think this will work in your case, but I could be mistaken.

I'm running Cygwin/XFree 4.3.0 under cygwin 1.5.5-1 (all the latest current versions of all packages as of this writing). I'm tunneling X over ssh to clients on a remote host (running Linux w/ XFree86 4.3).
Whenever I start a client on the remote host, all of the fonts on my local display come out about 2 points too small. It makes the clients very hard to see. Local clients are displayed normally. Does anyone know what could cause this?
I'm not running xfs. Here's the output of xset -q:

I've tried putting the 100dpi fonts first on the font path (xset +fp /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi/), but it doesn't help.
Any help appreciated. Andrew.
