When I prepared the list, I was in Emacs with my configuration. Now in
Emacs started with option ‘-Q’ fonts are slightly different:

  -- -outline-Courier New-normal-normal-normal-mono-13-*-*-*-c-*-iso8859-1

  -- -outline-BatangChe-normal-normal-normal-mono-13-*-*-*-c-*-gb2312.1980-0

  -- -outline-MS Gothic-normal-normal-normal-mono-13-*-*-*-c-*-jisx0208*-*

  -- -outline-MS Gothic-normal-normal-normal-mono-13-*-*-*-c-*-jisx0208*-*

Everything is slow. Even navigating point over the Latin (Courier)
characters is slow.

Maybe your system is faster. I suggest using a CPU monitor and moving
point around in ‘unicode.txt’. In the Windows Task manager, when doing
that, I see Emacs maxing out one entire CPU thread (25%, as my CPU has
four threads).

If you could post the necessary config lines, that would be great! The
font is installed on my system.
