I found my own solution. Here's what I did:
mkdir c:\cygwin\usr\X11R6\lib\X11\fonts\TTF
cp \windows\fonts\verdana* \cygwin\usr\X11R6\lib\X11\fonts\TTF
start Cygwin bash
cd /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TTF
mkfontscale .
mkfontdir .
exit Cygwin bash
start Cygwin bash
run xset -q and note that the font path now includes the TTF directory
run xfontsel and note that when you select regstry/microsoft that verdata
appears under fmly

Subject: How can get Windows fonts to appear in Oracle Developer with
Cygwin/X?
How can I get Windows fonts to appear in an application running under
Cygwin/X?
When I use Cygwin/X 1.5.18 to run the Oracle Developer 9.0.4.2 on Red Hat
3.0, I'm don't see the verdana font in the field property sheets. With
Cygwin/X, I see 25 fonts beginning with "clean" and ending with "utopia".
If I run ncdsoft PC-Xware, I see verdana in the list of 100 fonts
beginning with "@arial unicode ms" and ending with "vtspecl_normal".
Here's what I tried:
1) Expose the Windows fonts to Cygwin on the PC. I copied the windows/font
directory to the Cygwin home and ran mkfontscale, but fonts.scale ends up
with only a zero in it.
2) Point Cygwin at the fonts server running on the host. I verified that
xfs was running on the server on port 7100. From the PC, I ran Xwin.exe
-query {host} -fp {host:7100), and also xset fp+ host:7100. Neither
command worked.
Any help would be appreciated.
