Damn!  It just changed again.

The main question question is why it keeps changing when I running the CygWin
installer even though I don't (as far as I know) touch its font settings or
touch the installer settings for which fonts are installed.

How do I get it to behave consistently (well, consistently with a good font,
rather than consistentl with a bad font).
