Same thing - no crash.

I guess I don't have any of them.
Searching C: and D: drives for usp10.dll found nothing.

Dunno what that means.  You will need to give specific instructions.

The latest build I have is this pretest, which also crashes using C-h H
from runemacs -Q, but which does not crash with C-h H from emacs -Q -xrm 
Emacs.fontBackend:gdi.
