I don't see any list of features
It may be that the sequences you are viewing do not have features available from the public databases. Also, if you loaded the sequences as a simple flat-file (e.g. fasta, clustalw, etc) then these formats don't provide features on sequences.
You can try to retreive features via the web service menu's 'Fetch DB References', which will use the sequence ID string to query ENA or Uniprot to retrieve annotation. We have a tutorial video on this topic: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nLINw__nfDg
also, many windows appear with font sizes too small to be readable and I can change the font sizes in only a limited number of them.
Is it possible to install jalview in cygwin ?
if so, could I get some guidelines please ?
The short answer is that we don't have a special cygwin installer for Jalview because cygwin uses windows native executables under the hood, so you can just execute the Jalview application's Jalview.exe directly from cygterm. However, the Jalview.exe is not a well behaved command line application so if you want to run Jalview as a command line program your best bet is to download the executable jar: http://www.jalview.org/getdown/release/jalview-all-2.11.1.0-j1.8.jar
or the j11 version http://www.jalview.org/getdown/release/jalview-all-2.11.1.0-j11.jar
You can then launch it from the terminal (assuming you have java on your path) via:
java -jar jalview-all-2.11.1.0-j11.jar
To see available arguments use '-h' !
