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:
$ xset -q

Bug Mode: compatibility mode is disabled
Font cache:

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.
