Display the cjk ext b characters using precompiled Emacs-23-CvsP080630-EmacsW32-1.58.

Dear Kenichi,

I'v downloaded the precompiled Emacs-23-CvsP080630-EmacsW32-1.58 from the following url:  (thanks to Jason Rumney <jasonr@gnu.org> for telling me this site)
http://ourcomments.org/Emacs/EmacsW32.html

Now, I want to use this version to display the cjk ext b characters under microsoft windows xp.  I remembered that you've given me the following directions for that thing under debian gun/linux:

--------------
;; Display the Unicode-SIP:
(if (display-graphic-p)
(set-fontset-font
 (frame-parameter nil 'font)
 '(#x20000 . #x2fa1d)
 '("*-Sun-ExtB" . "unicode-sip")))

;; Display the Unicode-BMP:
(if (display-graphic-p)
(set-fontset-font
(frame-parameter nil 'font)
   '(#x0000 . #xffff)
   '("*-Sun-ExtA" . "unicode-bmp"))) 
--------------

I've tried to use the above setting to do that thing, but failed. 

Sincerely yours,

I've just now added surrogate pair support to the Windows font backends
where we need to send such characters to Windows API functions that take
UTF-16 encoded strings. On the version above, display of characters
outside the BMP is not supported by either Windows font backend.
