Now I can use cygwin/X to run gtk3-demo, but my eyes is bad and xterm font in cygwin/X is very small, how can I set to bigger font for xterm? Thanks a lot.

I use the following in my ~/.Xdefaults. Change the faceName and faceSize
to suit you.
XTerm*faceName: Bitstream Vera Serif Mono
XTerm*faceSize: 10
XTerm*toolBar: false
XTerm*Background: black
XTerm*Foreground: white
XTerm*cursorColor: LightBlue
XTerm*ScrollBar: true
XTerm*rightScrollBar: true

Well, if you hold down the ctrl key and hit the right mouse button,
you will get a menu of "VT Fonts" and select "Large" or "Huge".
Or you could do what I've done -- Make a "my_xterm" shell script:
##############################################
#!/bin/sh
#
export LANG=C
export XTERM_LOCALE=C
exec xterm \
-fa lucidatypewriter -fs 16 \
-fg green \
-bg black $*
##############################################
I find the green on black much easier to read than other combinations.
