I use XEmacs 21.4, not 21.5, and do not have the reported problem with 
fonts.  But, I did have a possibly related problem. When I started a 
subprocess in XEmacs, copy/paste to the Windows clipboard would stop 
working.  The work-arounds described for the fonts problem (starting 
from rxvt) also worked for my problem, which is why I think they are 
related.

Anyway, FWIW, the latest changes to fhandler_tty.cc in the latest cygwin 
snapshot fixed my XEmacs problems.  You might want to try it.

If they don't solve your problem, I may have time to take a stab at 
reproducing and debugging your problem with XEmacs 21.5 in a couple of 
weeks.

David
