As of now, something still seems to be broken (see bug#2637).

On Windows, I get the message "Can't set a font for partial ASCII 
range." This seems to be coming from line 1511 of fontset.c, while 
processing one of these lines (maybe the latin-jisx0201 line) from 
term/w32-win.el; TARGET is the integer 33:

 ;; Enable Japanese fonts on Windows to be used by default.
 (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"))
