As far as I know, Lucida Console does not come with any Cygwin package, 
it is part of Windows, up through Windows XP.  It is not a free font:

     http://www.microsoft.com/typography/fonts/font.aspx?FMID=1262

 From Vista (?) forward, Windows uses Consolas for that purpose.

Sometimes to get native fonts to work in Cygwin apps, you have to build 
font files, which may not have been done in your new installation.  The 
assumption here is that you're talking about Emacs on X11, not console 
emacs in MinTTY.

If MinTTY can't find the font, check in Notepad or similar.  If Lucida 
Console isn't there, either, Cygwin's setup.exe probably didn't remove it.
