Mathematica will crash cygwin/X, if certain fonts were not properly installed.
Wolfram released a font package that could help this issue out.
Here is the download.
$ wget http://support.wolfram.com/technotes/MathematicaV7FontsLinux.tar.gz
Once you get this file, you may
$ tar xvfz MathematicaV7FontsLinux.tar.gz
to extract the font files, then
$ rsync -av Fonts/ /usr/share/fonts/
to install them.
After the installation, you need to restart the cygwin xserver.
Then, Mathematica will work in cygwin x.
