Fonts on X-forwarded apps are too small


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
