How to Change Remote Unix Font Size

Okay, this is a doosey of a question.

I'm using cygwinx to ssh into a remote server to run run Ansys on my Windows machine. The font is very very small and hard to see. Aside from changing my screen resolution, is there any other way to change the font size of the program?

Suspect that you have some setup in your application that changes the screen size. The unix box is dumping ASCII text to your application and depending on it and windows to handle the picture you see.

I don't use the app, so can offer no help, but you may be able to find answers through a google search for "font size cygwin". It seems to be a common problem.

Most of the searches I conducted resulted in fixes for the cygwin terminal font sizes. I still cannot seem to find a fix for the application display window font sizes.
