The -fp option seems to work (at least there are more fonts available with
xlsfonts then when I don't specify this option).
Doing xset +fp tcp/pc120:7100 freezes the screen. I suppose this is a bug. I'm
running the X server in fullscreen mode 1024x768x8.
Version information:
This cygwin installation was done last week from internet so it is probably
the latest one.
XFree 4.2.0.
Win98
Directx 8.1

For every tool there are at least 2 uses: the one it was designed for
and the other for which it wasn't.
