X questions should go to the cygwin-xfree list.
The X server has autodetection for a number of Windows keyboard
layouts for which it selects the corresponding X keyboard layout, but
presumably Faroese (abbreviated 'fo') isn't among them.
Hence you need to tell the X server yourself, using either the
-xkblayout option at server startup:
$ xwin -xkblayout fo
Or the setxkbmap command for a running server:
$ setxkbmap fo
