When testing Freeplane with Java 8 (in the Win 10 environment) and not connected to Cygwin X at all. Same issue - icons are all small and stay small but content can be enlarged, and menus are already large enough.
So, as an fyi for similar situations, I'm finding gnome-terminal and pcmanfm to be most accommodating Cygwin X apps in allowing larger content fonts and reasonable menu sizes even though toolbar icons remain very small.
Thanks for your help. ---rob--- On 2016-07-22 9:25 AM, Jon Turney wrote:

My laptop under Windows has recommended resolution set at 3200 x 1800 CygwinX X Windows are much to small, and barely readable.I guess this means that e.g. xterm font is too small, and so a 80x24 character window is small?Can anyone just tell me where to look, or what to specify?To answer the specific question, you can specify the a display resolution using the '-dpi' option. The "configuration" chapter of the user guide [1] points to "man XWin" [2], which in turn points to "man Xserver" [3] for general server options, including that one.
