I'm cc-ing the cygwin-xfree list, which is where I think fontconfig 
questions belong. I can confirm that on my system, fc-list produces 
strange output on the windows system fonts. I'm not sure if it's the 
same problem you were reporting.
For example, I get the following in a mintty window under cygwin 1.7:
$ fc-list|grep -i micro
Microsoft Sans 
Serif:style=Regular,Normal,obyÃ„ejnÃƒÂ©,Standard,ÃŽÃŽÂ±ÃŽÂ½ÃŽÂ¿ÃŽÂ½ÃŽÂ¹ÃŽÂºÃŽÂ¬,Normaali,NormÃƒÂ¡l,Normale,Standaard,Normalny,ÃÃÂ±Ã‘Ã‘ÃÂ½Ã‘ÃÂ¹,NormÃƒÂ¡lne,Navadno,Arrunta
cygcheck output is attached.
