The large font on gdm welcome screen (-adobe-helvetica-bold-r-normal-*-*-180-*-*-*-*-*-*) could not be displayed on the xfree/cygwin.

Nedit runs but no fonts and menus are not legible. I run nedit right off my
local PC with Cygwin/XFree86. This still remains a problem despite 3 clean
reinstall of all X binaries from the 4-14 release. I also copied the .x* and
.X* resource files from the home directory of a working Cygwin/XFree -- but
they did not solve the problem.
