I have cemented walls that have been painted over which I think is a semi-gloss paint. I want the wall to look smooth, but furring it out is out of the question, because the the perpendicular wall have windows too close to the corners to do it. I was thinking of using joint compound to make the wall smooth. Will this work, especially since the cemented wall is already painted?

buy a paint that has a filler in it,
[thickening agent] like sand paint, apply it then smooth it out with a trowel,

Regardless of your previous answer, joint compound is fine. Your walls have to be moisture free, and you can only put thin layers on. It is not like plaster, where you can put in on thick. After 1 thin layer is totally dried, you can add another.
