Re: Emacs 23.1.97 pretest

[Tak Ota]

Some Japanese characters don't render correctly.  One such example
character is the middle letter in the word game "ゲーム".  Another one
I found is the dot character here between 1 and 2 "１・２".

It is tested on GNU Emacs 23.1.97.1 (i386-mingw-nt6.1.7600) running on
Windows 7 Professional 64-bit (6.1, Build 7600).  This problem is not
new and has been observed for some time.

I first reported this problem for pretest 23.1.94.

C-u C-x = on the above two characters says:
