I suggest to ask this on emacs-devel and perhaps also on the Cygwin
list.  I don't know how to set up fonts for Cygwin, perhaps it is not
enough to have the fonts installed for native Windows applications.
(Cygwin uses X Windows, which could look for fonts in places other
than where the native apps do.)
