Python 2.4: Subprocess and Cygwin question

[Pekka Niiranen]

Hi,

I started cygwin shell with command

subprocess.call("c:\\cygwin\\cygwin.bat")

from Python 2.4.

Shell works fine but the fonts/layout are
set according to program "c:\winnt\system32\cmd.exe".
How can I tell Windows to use layout/font settings
of the shotcut "cygwin.bat"?
