Font error running app using XDMCP/XWin.exe to Solaris 9 host

[AWM@inel.gov]

Hello all;
I am connecting to a Solaris 9 host from a W2K host with a batch file using
the following command:

start XWin -query <sol-9_host> -fp tcp/<sol-9_host>:7100

When I try to run the application I get the following error:

X Error of failed request:  BadNane (named color or font does not exeist)
   Major opcode of failed request:  45  (X_OpenFont)
   Serial number of failed request:  17
   Current serial number in output stream:  21

I am running Cygwin.XFree86 version 4.2.0 on my W2K.  I have tried various
and asundry different combinations of commands and font servers.
The application draws seismic traces on the screen horizontally along and
x-y axis depicting amplitude with respect to time.   It just so happens
that if I point the font server (-fp) at a Solaris Version 2.7 host (still
executing the application on the Solaris 9 host) the application runs
without any errors, but the traces are 'scrunched' down together so as to
be very difficult to read.
This same method of connecting to any Linux machine from my W2K machine
with the above described batch file works without flaw.
Does anyone have any idea what is going on here, and is there a fix for
this problem? (I could not find anything mentioning this problem on the
mailing list archive).  Ofcourse, the reason I am pointing to a different
font server than the W2K is because for Solaris-9, the login box will not
get painted (I got this fix off of the archive.)
