Menu fonts in 'git gui' are too small to be readable
(only one or two pixels high).   "gitk" works fine.

Same result whether I start 'git gui' from the command line
or from gitk.

I'm running cygwin 32 on windows 7.   uname -a shows:
CYGWIN_NT-6.1-WOW myname-LT 2.5.1(0.297/5/3) 2016-04-21 22:12 i686 Cygwin

Starting the X server from tcsh as:
  setenv DISPLAY :0; run xwin -multiwindow
(starting the server in foreground so I can see any 
console messages)

After the flurry of messages from X server initialization,
there is no output to the console or to /var/log/xwin/Xorg.0.log
when starting git gui except one line to the console:

  OS has icon alpha channel support: yes

So far I have tried:
  Searching mailing list archives
  google.  Lots of google...
  installing any missing xorg-X11-fonts-* packages
  re-installing git, git gui, gitk

cygcheck.out is attached with usernames redacted.

Any ideas are welcome.
