Maybe you should try reinstalling your font packages.  Or run 'fc-cache 
-fsv'.

If you change an option (by selecting a new default font, for instance) 
and click Save Options, the customization section of your .emacs should 
get rewritten.  Are you saying this doesn't happen?

You haven't said which emacs executable you're running, but I assume 
it's emacs-X11.exe.  Is that right?  If instead you're running 
emacs-w32.exe, that might explain the font problem.

And please attach your cygcheck output, as requested at
