-A few additional steps are necessary for MS-Windows; they are listed
-below.
-
-First, make sure @emph{all} the directories with BDF font files are
-mentioned in @code{bdf-directory-list}.  On Unix and GNU/Linux
-systems, one normally runs @kbd{make install} to install the BDF fonts
-in the same directory.  By contrast, Windows users typically don't run
-the Intlfonts installation command, but unpack the distribution in
-some directory, which leaves the BDF fonts in its subdirectories.  For
-example, assume that you unpacked Intlfonts in @file{C:/Intlfonts};
-then you should set @code{bdf-directory-list} as follows:
-
-@lisp
-  (setq bdf-directory-list
-    '("C:/Intlfonts/Asian"
-      "C:/Intlfonts/Chinese" "C:/Intlfonts/Chinese.X"
-      "C:/Intlfonts/Chinese.BIG" "C:/Intlfonts/Ethiopic"
-      "C:/Intlfonts/European" "C:/Intlfonts/European.BIG"
-      "C:/Intlfonts/Japanese" "C:/Intlfonts/Japanese.X"
-      "C:/Intlfonts/Japanese.BIG" "C:/Intlfonts/Korean.X"
-      "C:/Intlfonts/Misc"))
-@end lisp
-
-@cindex @code{w32-bdf-filename-alist}
-@cindex @code{w32-find-bdf-fonts}
-Next, you need to set up the variable @code{w32-bdf-filename-alist} to
-an alist of the BDF fonts and their corresponding file names.
-Assuming you have set @code{bdf-directory-list} to name all the
-directories with the BDF font files, the following Lisp snippet will
-set up @code{w32-bdf-filename-alist}:
-
-@lisp
-  (setq w32-bdf-filename-alist
