git gui menu fonts are too small, unreadable

Tue Jun 7 22:32:00 GMT 2016

Menu fonts in 'git gui' are too small to be readable
(only one or two pixels high). "gitk" works fine.
Same result whether I start 'git gui' from the command line
or from gitk.
I'm running cygwin 32 on windows 7. uname -a shows:
CYGWIN_NT-6.1-WOW myname-LT 2.5.1(0.297/5/3) 2016年04月21日 22:12 i686 Cygwin
Starting the X server from tcsh as:
 setenv DISPLAY :0; run xwin -multiwindow
(starting the server in foreground so I can see any 
console messages)
After the flurry of messages from X server initialization,
there is no output to the console or to /var/log/xwin/Xorg.0.log
when starting git gui except one line to the console:
 OS has icon alpha channel support: yes
So far I have tried:
 Searching mailing list archives
 google. Lots of google...
 installing any missing xorg-X11-fonts-* packages
 re-installing git, git gui, gitk
cygcheck.out is attached with usernames redacted.
Any ideas are welcome.
Thanks and Best Regards,
