Am posting this here, due to the fact below that it was pointed out this is more a cygwin/x thing...
So what is the purpose of the cygwin/x scaleable fonts? How exactly are they implemented into the running of cygwin & cygwin/x?

Those are X fonts, and thus not applicable to the Windows cmd window. AFAIK, there is no way to get the Windows cmd window to display in a font that is rescaled when the window is resized (not on WinXP, at least). Win98 has such a feature, IIRC. You could try to run rxvt in the Windows-native mode -- perhaps it has some option to change font scaling when resized. > Oh and sorry if this is to the wrong group I figured this was a cygwin > thing and not a cygwin/x thing.
