Define a fontset ( see above ) listing any font of an appropriate size which works with the third party program for the appropriate character set(s). Change the character set to the character set you want displayed so Emacs knows how to display it. For example: (create-fontset-from-fontset-spec “-*-Courier New-normal-r-*-*-13-*-*-*-c-*-fontset-asian, korean-ksc5601:-*-Courier New-normal-r-*-*-13-*-*-*-c-*-ksc5601-*, chinese-gb2312:-*-Courier New-normal-r-*-*-13-*-*-*-c-*-gb2312-*, chinese-big5-1:-*-Courier New-normal-r-*-*-13-*-*-*-c-*-big5-*, chinese-big5-2:-*-Courier New-normal-r-*-*-13-*-*-*-c-*-big5-*, japanese-jisx0208:-*-Courier New-normal-r-*-*-13-*-*-*-c-*-jisx0208-sjis, katakana-jisx0201:-*-Courier New-normal-r-*-*-13-*-*-*-c-*-jisx0201-sjis, latin-jisx0201:-*-Courier New-normal-r-*-*-13-*-*-*-c-*-jisx0201-sjis, japanese-jisx0208-1978:-*-Courier New-normal-r-*-*-13-*-*-*-c-*-jisx0208-sjis”) If this doesn’t work, you may need to set `w32-enable-unicode-output’ to nil.
