These are only warnings, not errors.

Do the applications not work, or do they just not use the fonts you are expecting?

"Missing charsets in String to FontSet conversion" is a bit of a poor message 
as it doesn't say which charsets are missing, despite the fact the bit of code 
emitting it knows exactly :-(

This very likely is a locale issue, so can you say what the setting of LANG in 
both your cygwin environment and the HP-UX one is?
