Have you tried loading your .Xdefaults on the remote side before launching a
client? e.g. "xrdb -load ~/.Xdefaults"

Andrew,
You need to use the "-dpi 100" parameter for XWin.exe. It is not enough
to change the order of the fonts in the font path, you have to actually
tell it to use the 100 dpi fonts by default.
I think this will work in your case, but I could be mistaken.

I'm running Cygwin/XFree 4.3.0 under cygwin 1.5.5-1 (all the latest
current versions of all packages as of this writing). I'm tunneling X
over ssh to clients on a remote host (running Linux w/ XFree86 4.3).
Whenever I start a client on the remote host, all of the fonts on my
local display come out about 2 points too small. It makes the clients
very hard to see. Local clients are displayed normally. Does anyone
know what could cause this?
I'm not running xfs. Here's the output of xset -q:
$ xset -q
Keyboard Control:
auto repeat: on key click percent: 0 LED mask: 00000002
auto repeat delay: 660 repeat rate: 25
auto repeating keys: 00ffffffdffffbbf
fadfffffffdffdff
ffffffffffffffff
ffffffffffffffff
bell percent: 50 bell pitch: 400 bell duration: 100
Pointer Control:
acceleration: 2/1 threshold: 4
Screen Saver:
prefer blanking: yes allow exposures: yes
timeout: 600 cycle: 600
Colors:
default colormap: 0x20 BlackPixel: 0 WhitePixel: 16777215
Font Path:
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc/,/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/CID/,/usr/X11R6/lib/X1
1/fonts/75dpi/,/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi/
Bug Mode: compatibility mode is disabled
Font cache:
hi-mark (KB): 5120 low-mark (KB): 3840 balance (%): 70
I've tried putting the 100dpi fonts first on the font path (xset +fp
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi/), but it doesn't help.
Any help appreciated.
Andrew.
