In fact, it is.  nedit, like other old Motif (and Xaw) applications, 
depends on server-side fonts.  (Modern GUI toolkits, such as GTK+ and 
Qt, use client-side fonts via fontconfig or a wrapper thereto.) 
Therefore, you must install fonts where Xming will find them, and hence 
this is not an issue per se with nedit or Cygwin/X.
