However, when I start a remote application with the display forwarded to my local X-Server, the X-forwarding works but the display quality is awful. It also appears that the font selection is not what it should be. When I start a local X-Server which is managed by XFCE the display is as expected. I have captured the difference in a screen shot here: http://imgur.com/6rinh0Y Both Emacs sessions are on the same remote system. The problem is similar with other X-Windows apps such as Eclipse. FWIW, I have never observed the same issue on previous installations of Cygwin-X. Any information on how to fix this configuration issue would be highly appreciated.
