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.
