Cygwin/X - Install 100 dpi fonts

If your fonts look too small, try installing the 100dpi fonts in Cygwin's setup. Under X11, select
xorg-x11-f100: Cygwin/X 100 dpi fonts
In your C:\cygwin\usr\X11R6\bin\startxwin.bat, near the bottom of the file, append "-dpi 100" to this line:
%RUN% XWin -multiwindow -clipboard -silent-dup-error
