This one works on the Mandriva X11 server

-*-courier-medium-r-normal--17-120-*-*-*-*-iso8859-13
The problem seems to be that the font naming convention is slightly
different. There
are 3 fields between 120 and iso8859 on the Mandriva machine, but 4
on
Cygwin/X. Change in
the font naming conventions between different Xorg versions???
These names should be XLFDs (X logical font descriptions [1]).
The first one doesn't look well-formed as it only has 13 fields.
Right. Oddly it has been like that for, I don't know, 20 years?
Searched for new fonts
and it came back with 13 fields.
Sent you a set of fonts.dir/fonts.scale for urw font names in a direct
email. (Didn't have
an actual fonts.alias, but should be easy to make one from these
files.)
Thanks,
