You need to use the "-dpi 100" option for XWin.exe. I would suggest doing that first from a Cygwin bash shell to try it, then edit your startup script to add the option permanently.

Is there a way to force the Xserver to start with 100dpi X 100dpi
resolution?

I am running Cygwin and Xwin on a laptop with 1600 x 1200 windows resolution
and the fonts with 75dpi X 75dpi resolution are quite small.  I have all
relevant fonts installed and tried to change the fontpath to have 100dpi
fonts listed first using the -fp switch.  I have also tried adding -dpi 100
to the Xservers file.

Thanks
Andrew
