how can I do that?

Turn off HZK fonts in the config file. The built-in fonts are an older
design and weren't really designed to allow switching between Japanese
and multiple Chinese builtin fonts. Make sure you are using the
name that is found in the .c file. You also must encode your
text the way that the builtin font handler expects, which is
hard to describe, but typically found in drivers/genfont.c and
engine/devfont.c.

write :
hFont = CreateFont(12,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,"gb24st.pcf");
SelectObject(hdc,hFont);
TextOut(hdc, 20, 160,"ï ¤ ¨ ¥", -1);

something wrong in my code?
The win32 API doesn't allow for changing the character encoding.
You'll need to edit mwin/wingdi.c::MwExtTextOut and change
the flags parameter to GrText to the encoding that you'll be using.
We need to design an API workaround to this, if multiple fonts
with different encodings will be used. (The Microsoft answer
is to support only unicode, and Microwindows then needs
TextOutA and TextOutW versions, which is probably the best
way to go)
