This file describes various problems that have been encountered
in compiling, installing and running GNU Emacs.
* Some accented ISO-8859-1 characters or umlauts are displayed as | or _.
Try other font set sizes (S-mouse-1). If the problem persists with
other sizes as well, your text is corrupted, probably through software
that is not 8-bit clean. If the problem goes away with another font
size, it's probably because some fonts pretend to be ISO-8859-1 fonts
when they are really ASCII fonts. In particular the schumacher-clean
fonts have this bug in some versions of X.
To see what glyphs are included in a font, use `xfd', like this:
xfd -fn -schumacher-clean-medium-r-normal--12-120-75-75-c-60-iso8859-1
If this shows only ASCII glyphs, the font is indeed the source of the
problem.
The solution is to remove the corresponding lines from the appropriate
`fonts.alias' file, then run `mkfontdir' in that directory, and then run
`xset fp rehash'.
* Large file support is disabled on HP-UX. See the comments in
src/s/hpux10.h.
