Hmm?
I know that the *NIX version of Emacs uses XWindows,
and the MS-Windows native can (probably) support it
as well.

However, I was assuming that
1) the OP was sitting in front of an MS-Windows box.
2) He was wanting to run Emacs on a remote *NIX box.
    Why he was wanting to run Emacs on the *NIX box
    not the local box was not for me to ask; perhaps
    the remote box has access to resources that the
    MS-Windows box hadn't.

3) He implied that the remote emacs was running in console-mode.

4) He stated that he was ssh'ing into the *NIX box, and
    running emacs there.


Given these, using X-Windows as the display transport
(as long as a CJK(V) font was available to X) would
probably improve his experience.
