it shows that it doesn't allow keyboard input in order to specify a family
(like lucida...).
The GUI list of displays off screen, so can't find family I was looking for.

I'm trying to get a 3rd party app to work. This started with noticing that
a 3rd party app that wasn't putting up an expected window.

Ya, I purchased xming from Colin H. several years or more back.
I had probs w/it and tried to get support from Colin.  He saw I had
cygwin on my machine and said he would not support me w/cygwin on my 
machine.

Given that I use linux, a similar interface on Win is a large productivity
enhancer, so I gave up on the use of Xming.
