Part of the recipe is that you don't set Arial Unicode MS as the default 
font, you let the font fallback find it (in the case of the original

I've often had problems in the past using debuggers under Emacs on 
Windows (under Emacs 21 and early 22 development versions though, so I 
haven't tried the new gdb-ui extensively), so I always use the command line.
