Hi all,
I have a small problem with X windows under Cygwin. I'm using the following
command to open a X windows session to HP Unix server: "xwin -query
A.B.C.D".
Graphical desktop is staring and I can login to a remote system.
Then I open a terminal session and start OpenView service. The system
reported a following error:

Looks like the font I use is not suitable for HP Unix. But I've tried all
possible fonts with "xwin -fn XXX" option and I get always a "fixed" font.
There is no font changes after the X windows session is opened.
Another interesting fact is when I open a telnet session on HP Unix box I
see in "options/fonts size" submenu of telnet window a very strange strings
which are not font size like for example "-dt-interface
user-medium-r-normal-xs*-*-*-*-*-m-*".
To make a cross-check I've opened a X windows session with a commercial
software Exceed. Is working perfect.
Could somebody help me to solve this issue ?
Best regards,
Arek Golombek
PS. Below a message I get after Xwin is started:
