Please write in English if possible, because the Emacs maintainers
usually do not have translators to read other languages for them.

Your bug report will be posted to the emacs-pretest-bug <at> gnu.org mailing list.

Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug:

run emacs without any extra settings: runemacs.exe -Q

(set-fontset-font
 "fontset-startup" 'ascii  ;; or 'latin
 "-*-Courier New-*-*-*-*-17-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1")

Does not work.

But

(set-fontset-font
 "fontset-startup" 'chinese-gbk
 "-*-Arial Unicode MS-*-*-*-*-17-*-*-*-*-*-iso10646-1")

works fine for characters in charset chinese-gbk.


If Emacs crashed, and you have the Emacs process in the gdb debugger,
please include the output from the following gdb commands:
    `bt full' and `xbacktrace'.
If you would like to further debug the crash, please read the file
d:/Emacs/etc/DEBUG for instructions.

Sorry for the late reply.  Do you still see this problem with latest
Emacs CVS?
