Chinese Display Problem on Windows Port of Emacs21

In GNU Emacs 21.1.1 (i386-mingw-nt5.0.2195)
 of 2001-10-23 on ODYSSEY
configured using `configure --with-gcc (2.95)'
Important settings:
  value of $LC_ALL: nil
  value of $LC_COLLATE: nil
  value of $LC_CTYPE: nil
  value of $LC_MESSAGES: nil
  value of $LC_MONETARY: nil
  value of $LC_NUMERIC: nil
  value of $LC_TIME: nil
  value of $LANG: CHS
  locale-coding-system: chinese-iso-8bit-dos
  default-enable-multibyte-characters: t

The default Chinese font used by Emacs21 on Windows 2000 is
a "vertical" font, ie. all Chinese characters are rotated by
90 degrees.  The problem is probably caused by the way MS
assigning names to Chinese fonts; for each font named "ABC",
a "vertical" version is created with the name "@ABC".  Since
fonts with names beginning with "@" come first in the font list,
the default font is incorrectly selected.

Currently, this problem can be solved by explicitly specifying
the fontset.  But it would be very annoying to common users,
so I think it should be reported as a bug.
