bug#2830: 23.0.91; Private use area

Please write in English if possible, because the Emacs maintainers
usually do not have translators to read other languages for them.

Your bug report will be posted to the [email protected] mailing 
list.

Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug:

(Not sure if this is a bug or a feature request.)

I have a file with characters from the Private Use Area of Unicode. I 
also have
a font, Code2000, "http://code2000.net/CODE2000.ZIP" which has the 
characters in
it. But emacs shows me squares instead of the characters. (Notepad can 
display
it.)

Here are a few lines from my file:

s/b//g; # umbar
s/c//g; # quesse
s/d//g; # ando
s/f//g; # formen
s/g//g; # ungwe

If Emacs crashed, and you have the Emacs process in the gdb debugger,
please include the output from the following gdb commands:
`bt full' and `xbacktrace'.
If you would like to further debug the crash, please read the file
c:/pf/emacs-23.0.91/etc/DEBUG for instructions.
