Please don't use outdated CVS versions. There are current version on
<http://ourcomments.org/Emacs/EmacsW32.html> and I heard that there
will be Windows binaries for the pretest versions on
<ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/emacs/pretest/> soon.

,----[ (info "(gnus)X-Face") ]
| Viewing an `X-Face' header either requires an Emacs that has
| `compface' support (which most XEmacs versions has), or that you
| have suitable conversion or display programs installed. If your
| Emacs has image support the default action is to display the face
| before the `From' header. If there's no native `X-Face' support,
| Gnus will try to convert the `X-Face' header using external programs
| from the `pbmplus' package and friends. [...] The default action
| under Emacs without image support is to fork off the `display'
| program.
|
| On a GNU/Linux system, the `display' program is from the ImageMagick
| package. For external conversion programs look for packages with names
| like `netpbm', `libgr-progs' and `compface'.

I don't have a windows to test it, but by looking at the code it seems
that you need to install windows versions of the uncompface and
icontopbm executables. If a windows user could provide us concrete
information (download URLs, ...), we could improve the manual.
Bye, Reiner.
