A few additional steps are necessary for MS-Windows; they are listed
below.
First, make sure @emph{all} the directories with BDF font files are
mentioned in @code{bdf-directory-list}. On Unix and GNU/Linux
systems, one normally runs @kbd{make install} to install the BDF fonts
in the same directory. By contrast, Windows users typically don't run
the Intlfonts installation command, but unpack the distribution in
some directory, which leaves the BDF fonts in its subdirectories. For
example, assume that you unpacked Intlfonts in @file{C:/Intlfonts};
then you should set @code{bdf-directory-list} as follows:
@lisp
(setq bdf-directory-list
'("C:/Intlfonts/Asian"
"C:/Intlfonts/Chinese" "C:/Intlfonts/Chinese.X"
"C:/Intlfonts/Chinese.BIG" "C:/Intlfonts/Ethiopic"
"C:/Intlfonts/European" "C:/Intlfonts/European.BIG"
"C:/Intlfonts/Japanese" "C:/Intlfonts/Japanese.X"
"C:/Intlfonts/Japanese.BIG" "C:/Intlfonts/Korean.X"
"C:/Intlfonts/Misc"))
@end lisp
@cindex @code{w32-bdf-filename-alist}
@cindex @code{w32-find-bdf-fonts}
Next, you need to set up the variable @code{w32-bdf-filename-alist} to
an alist of the BDF fonts and their corresponding file names.
Assuming you have set @code{bdf-directory-list} to name all the
directories with the BDF font files, the following Lisp snippet will
set up @code{w32-bdf-filename-alist}:
@lisp
(setq w32-bdf-filename-alist
(w32-find-bdf-fonts bdf-directory-list))
@end lisp
Now, create fontsets for the BDF fonts:
@smallexample
(create-fontset-from-fontset-spec
"-*-fixed-medium-r-normal-*-16-*-*-*-c-*-fontset-bdf,
japanese-jisx0208:-*-*-medium-r-normal-*-16-*-*-*-c-*-jisx0208.1983-*,

tibetan:-TibMdXA-fixed-medium-r-normal--16-160-72-72-m-160-MuleTibetan-0")
@end smallexample
Many of the international bdf fonts from Intlfonts are type 0, and
therefore need to be added to font-encoding-alist:
@lisp
(setq font-encoding-alist
(append '(("MuleTibetan-0" (tibetan . 0))
("GB2312" (chinese-gb2312 . 0))
("JISX0208" (japanese-jisx0208 . 0))
("JISX0212" (japanese-jisx0212 . 0))

("KSC5601" (korean-ksc5601 . 0))
("MuleArabic-0" (arabic-digit . 0))
("MuleArabic-1" (arabic-1-column . 0))
("MuleArabic-2" (arabic-2-column . 0)))
font-encoding-alist))
@end lisp
You can now use the Emacs font menu to select the @samp{bdf: 16-dot medium}
fontset, or you can select it by setting the default font in your
@file{~/.emacs}:
