So, this is working great, with the exception that the cygwin xterm font display is so much sharper that the GVim display. It's the same .vimrc, but the difference is GVim is from running this command,

$ ssh -f -Y jic@web gvim w/default.website/Musicos.html

and the other that looks good is doing,

ssh jic@web
password:

$ vim w/default.website/Musicos.html

This latter displays so much clearer and colorful, while the GVim under X is ugly, dark and the font is not sharp. Any thoughts/suggestions/help would is appreciated. Thanks.
