Let's back up and look again at what you really want... >> Am trying to get scaleable fonts in a command window >> running under cygwin. >> I want to have it so that when the user changes the >> window size or maximizes it, the fonts 'grow' with the window. Igor tried to tell you this really isn't a cygwin/x issue, and scalable fonts won't do this for you, at least not with the regular command window. There are other alternatives to the command window. There is xterm, which runs under X, and rxvt, which has both an X and a native-windows mode. But I don't think either of these will do what you want, either. Most terminal type windows just give you more lines/columns when you resize them and not increase the font. But, you can select different font sizes which will cause the window to grow/shrink accordingly. If that is acceptable to you, instead of using the normal resize controls, check those out. e.g. in xterm try ctrl-right click. You may try asking back on the main list if the new native-only experimental rxvt will have a similar option if you don't want to run X just to get this.
