I know this isn't really answering your question, but I thought I'd
throw this out... take a look at the DejaVu font group.  Its free,
open source, and they seem to be dedicated to fully implementing all
Unicode Planes.

The font that is relevant is DejaVu Sans Mono.  I find that it is an
excellent monospaced sans serif font, and I use it on both linux and
windows.

Hello,

Apparently, there are only very few monospaced unicode fonts in Windows
which can be used with vim.

On Linux I like to use for example the efont unicode font for xterm.
I installed this font as a ttf file on Windows, but it doesn't appear
in the vim font selection dialog. I seems that there are fonts (with the
.ttf suffix for the font file) wich appear on the vim font selection
dialog (for example "Courier New") and some which don't.

1. Can I make the efont ttf font available for vim on Windows?
2. More generally: is there a way to convert Linux fonts (e.g. from bdf
or pcf) to windows fonts which can be used with vim? I'm especially
interested in unicode (iso10646-1) fonts.

Any help much appreciated.
