I'm using Emacs from the Ubuntu package provided by Alexandre
Vassalotti (see http://peadrop.com/blog/2007/01/06/pretty-emacs/):
GNU Emacs 23.0.60.1 (i486-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.12.0)
of 2007-12-30 on iridium

It *works*, yes.

I'm using the EmacsW32 binary provided by OurComments.org.

It seems that is not yet supported by EmacsW32. In fact, the
latest Emacs binary available on their site is quite old:
GNU Emacs 22.0.990.1 (i386-mingw-nt5.1.2600) of 2007-05-23
on LENNART-69DE564 (patched)

As soon as the Windows binary gets updated (with the new font
backend), I'll try your advice.
Thank you very much!
