IÂ’m running xterm under Cygwin on my new Dell Windows XP with an LCD 
monitor (1280x1024).  The fonts look ugly.  I've tried every imaginable 
font, I've Googled and tried various solutions suggested such as putting 
:unscaled in the font path, but nothing changes.  When I do “xdpyinfo | 
grep RENDER”, I get nothing, which apparently means that I can't use 
truetype fonts.  My video card is a Radeon X300 SE. Anyone know how to 
make the fonts look better?
