Re: Emacs not working correctly under the new cygwin server.
For a similar problem I eventually went to the cygwin installer, unchecked hide obsolete packages, went into the _obsolete area, selected everything beginning with xorg-x11-f (I would assume the XFree86-f* packages would work too) and restarted the X Windows server; actually by rebooting the computer. While it looked like the font files were in the right place before there must have been a little bit of magic and the old installation packages do not appear to harm anything. No doubt the next walk through the source code will turn up the offending module(s), but this is the quick and dirty workaround.

Cygwin only installs a minimal font set after updating now.
