Problem definition: Running both emacs-w32 (GNU Emacs 24.3.1 (i686-pc-cygwin) of 2013-03-11 on fiona) and GNU Emacs (GNU Emacs 24.2.1 (i386-mingw-nt6.1.7601) of 2012-08-29 on MARVIN) side by side, there are some unicode characters that display fine on GNU Emacs, but show up as squares on emacs-w32. See the screenshot for reference: http://i.imgur.com/HWv7TO0.png Using M-x describe-char gives us the following: http://i.imgur.com/QXXsRzj.png So the problem appears to be that when on GNU Emacs my font of choice Consolas fails to find a the right symbol to display, it is able to fall back to a Windows font called BatangChe. On emacs-w32 this does not happen, thus resulting in the squares. Is this a bug, and if not, how can I enable BatangChe on emacs-w32 as well?
First, the versions of emacs you're comparing are both GNU Emacs. One is a Cygwin build using the native Windows GUI, and the other is the native Windows build.
I don't really know much about fonts, but a little poking around in the emacs manual suggests that what you need to do is set the "default fontset". See the section on fontsets in the manual.
