Speaking of fontsets, with this change:

  Revision 1.74 - Thu Feb 20 08:40:35 2003 UTC (3 hours, 34 minutes ago) by 
handa 
  Branch: MAIN 
  CVS Tags: HEAD 

  (check_fontset_name): If NAME is nil, return the default fontset.

Emacs doesn't load on windowing mode on Windows because term/w32-win.el
contains:

  (set-fontset-font t (make-char 'katakana-jisx0201) '("*" . "JISX0208-SJIS"))
  (set-fontset-font t (make-char 'latin-jisx0201) '("*" . "JISX0208-SJIS"))
  (set-fontset-font t (make-char 'japanese-jisx0208) '("*" . "JISX0208-SJIS"))
  (set-fontset-font t (make-char 'japanese-jisx0208-1978) '("*" . 
"JISX0208-SJIS"))

It's easy enough to change these t to nil, but, why the change?

AFAICS, (set-fontset-font [t|nil]...) is not used anywhere on Emacs
except by term/w32-win.el, and not surprisingly so, as the docs don't
mention the posibility of NAME being other than a string...
