Thanks, Jon! Installing the three font collections you suggested seems to have solved all THREE of the problems I mentioned. I can only guess that somehow the font/locale issues prevented some .Xdefault information from being loaded or used properly, but I attach the .Xdefaults file anyway.
The way I know it's not being used is that my .xinitrc has the following for strting xemacs, i.e., no override of the default, and the window definitely came up a different shape without the isas, jis, and deawoo fonts installed. xemacs -T xemacs -iconname xemacs -iconic & In any case, I guess that as we move into cygwin 1.7 we'll save a lot of blood, sweat, and tears if we point out the need to install these fonts. In any case, now LANG=C.UTF-8 works well, as does LANG=en_US.UTF-8!
