X questions should go to the cygwin-xfree list.

The X server has autodetection for a number of Windows keyboard
layouts for which it selects the corresponding X keyboard layout, but
presumably Faroese (abbreviated 'fo') isn't among them.

Hence you need to tell the X server yourself, using either the
-xkblayout option at server startup:

$ xwin -xkblayout fo

Or the setxkbmap command for a running server:

$ setxkbmap fo
