One doesn't need to learn anything to ask questions and report
problems.  There are no admission exams ;-)

That's your mistake: source-directory should point to the root of the
Emacs tree, i.e. in your case, to E:\emacs\emacs, not to its src
subdirectory.  (Btw, I suggest to use forward slashes, even on
Windows.)

It does for me, in XP.  Please report as a bug.

No, it means that for me it works: I can select a font, and Emacs then
uses the selected font instead of the default.

Perhaps you can find a non-proportional Unicode font, then.
