It seems like that, but it is not that something broke, just that
something changed. The font-dialog on MS-Windows used to create a
fontset automatically, to make it easier to use non-Latin-1 fonts.

But Emacs 21 can now DTRT for those fonts directly, so it no longer
needs to do that for most cases. But for fonts in non-standard
encodings, it is still necessary to create the fontset.


Something like

(setq my-fontset (create-fontset-from-ascii-font "*-6x13-*"))
(set-frame-font my-fontset)

should be a good starting point.
