Harold,
Your suggestions fixed the problem -- thank you very much!
Just a few notes:
The second umount command gave me a "File or directory not found" error.
I never installed the Cyrillic fonts, so I didn't "reinstall" that package.
Other than that, I did everything exactly as you asked.
Thanks again!
Greg Jewell

Follow these steps:
1) Open Cygwin bash shell.
2) In bash shell, run the following two commands:
umount /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts
umount -u /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts
3) Rerun Cygwin's setup.exe, select 'Reinstall' for any of the following
packages that were already installed:
XFree86-f100
XFree86-fcyr
XFree86-fenc
XFree86-fnts
XFree86-fscl
4) Launch Cygwin/X again and test that the font problems have gone away.
5) Report your results here along with any deviations you had to make
from these instructions.
