I don't know what has happened to break the Windows code. The ChangeLog 
does not appear to offer any clues.
From what I can figure out, I think the default face is not being 
initialised properly. default_face->lface[LFACE_FAMILY_INDEX] is "*", 
likewise for other font related values, so any faces that inherit from 
the default face eventually end up calling font_open_entity with 
#<font-entity nil nil nil nil nil nil nil ...>.

Also (font-xlfd-name (font-at 1)) in *scratch* returns 
"-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*", while (font-at 1) returns #<font-object 
"Courier New">

In trunk, these return "-outline-courier 
new-normal-normal-normal-mono-13-*-*-*-m-*-iso10646-1" and #<save_value 
ptr=0x01c66d00 int=4>
respectively.
