Rui Carmorxvt is an xterm replacement that got rid of most of the extra cruft and that happens to be included in the Cygwin distribution in a dual-mode port (compiled both for X and Win32 displays, via an emulation library called libW11).
here is my rxvt shortcut invocation:
D:\bin\rxvt.exe -tn xterm -sr -fn "vt6x13" -sl 30000 -e bash --login -i
The vt6x13 above is from an excellent X-like monospaced fonts package, but Lucida Console works just fine:
D:\bin\rxvt.exe -tn xterm -sr -fn "Lucida Console-9" -sl 30000 -e bash --login -i
