I have no idea why this would occur or how to troubleshoot these scenarios.
The console keeps returning the font error.
Could not init font path element /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/CID/, removing from li
st!

winDeinitMultiWindowWM - Noting shutdown in progress
This link gave me some insight, yet it did not resolve my main problem.

Apparently, mount does not list any mount points for /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts on my installation.
$ mount
C:\cygwin\bin on /usr/bin type system (binmode)
C:\cygwin\lib on /usr/lib type system (binmode)
C:\cygwin on / type system (binmode)
c: on /cygdrive/c type system (binmode,noumount)
d: on /cygdrive/d type system (binmode,noumount)
e: on /cygdrive/e type system (binmode,noumount)
$ umount /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts
umount: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts: No such file or directory
