Hello,
I plan to use Cygwin as an X server on a Windows machine and run X
applications on the linux server using the X forwarding. I found that the
font size of the forwarded X applications are small compared to the regular
Windows application. To illustrate, please take a look at the screenshot:

"Kate" runs on the linux server and forwarded to the local machine. The menu
for it looks small. Compare that to the Firefox that runs as a native Windows
app. How do I change the font size so that X application like Kate has larger
font menu ?
At first I thought this has something to do with resolution / DPI of cygwin X
server, but I couldn't find any info on how to configure it (and I'm not
really sure if this the problem/solution).
I've searched Doc, FAQ, google and list archive but couln'd find anything that
helps. I apologize if this has been asked before and I simply missed it.
Any help / info is greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
RDB
