Subject: Emacs-w32 fails to display certain unicode characters that GNU Emacs is able to display
From: Olli Piepponen <opieppo AT gmail DOT com>
To: cygwin AT cygwin DOT com

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:

Using M-x describe-char gives us the following:

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?

Thank you for your time.
