If you need another "me, too", here you are - but sorry, I know that
this is not really helpful.
I'm not experienced with C programming at all, but if someone has a
piece of code or anything else to be tested on my box - you are welcome.
Furthermore I found that I have the following line in my .xinitrc
xset fp+ "$(cygpath -W)/FONTS"
This has worked for me a long time. Without that line I do not get any
TTF-fonts listed by xfontsel. With that line they are listed but not
displayed any longer. Is using that command deprecated. I remember that
I have used a tool to create the description files "fonts.scale",
"fonts.dir", and "encodings.dir" for that font path. I do not remember
which tool it was. Maybe I have to recreate these files? Any ideas?
If anybody needs further information or testing, let me know.
