Re: Who's maintaining the Win32 display code?

[Tak Ota]

I've been using emacs on w32 platform everyday for years.  I rebuild
from the head of CVS at least once a week.  I'm sorry but I have never
seen the crash you have been reporting.  I use BDF font too.  Does it
crash even when started with -q --no-site-file options?  Can't you
narrow the case so that someone else can reproduce the crash?
