Thank You all for your help. I Copied the fonts for HPUX to the fonts
directory for Cygwin/X. It works very well now.

Another option, if it's only 1 app you have problems with is to run an X
VNC Server session on your hpux box and then run the VNC Client on your
windows box to see the app.  I was having some problems with Sun's
Workshop Debugger under Cygwin/X, and that was my solution.
