The console is restricted to monospaced fonts. It won't show Arial
because that's a proportional font. (I don't know why it doesn't show
Courier New, though.)

I am running cygwin version B-20 on Windows NT version 4.0.
The only fonts showing up for selection in the properties window
are 'Lucida Console' and 'Raster Fonts'.
How can I make available to cygwin other fonts like Arial?

you get other fonts with the console. It may well be that you need to have
fonts which are specifically "console" fonts installed...

You can't. Console windows only handle fixed-width fonts like Lucida
Console, Courier New, the "raster" fonts, etc. Fonts like Arial and Times
New Roman are proportional fonts.

That's not a Cygwin issue but a console (cmd.exe) issue. I'm not sure how
you get other fonts with the console. It may well be that you need to have
fonts which are specifically "console" fonts installed...
