LANG = 'C.UTF-8'

You are probably being bitten by [1]

As far as I can tell, this is a general problem with X, but cygwin 
unfortunately encounters it in a default install because (a) the default 
locale is a UTF-8 locale, and (b) we don't install the CJK fonts by default.

Workarounds you might try are (a) install the font packages font-isas-misc, 
font-jis-misc and font-daewoo-misc (and restart your server), or (b) set your 
locale to a non-UTF-8 one.

We need to do something about this, but as the discussion in the bug should 
make clear, we're not sure what :-)
