 ;;; Commentary:
 
-;; This package sets up display of ISO 8859-n for n>1 by substituting
-;; Latin-1 characters and sequences of them for characters which can't
-;; be displayed, either because we're on a tty or because we don't
-;; have the relevant window system fonts available.  For instance,
-;; Latin-9 is very similar to Latin-1, so we can display most Latin-9
-;; characters using the Latin-1 characters at the same code point and
-;; fall back on more-or-less mnemonic ASCII sequences for the rest.
+;; This package sets up display of many non-ASCII characters by
+;; substituting ASCII and Latin-1 characters and sequences of them for
+;; characters which can't be displayed, either because we're on a tty
+;; or because we don't have the relevant window system fonts
+;; available.  For instance, Latin-9 is very similar to Latin-1, so we

 ;; For the Latin charsets the ASCII sequences are mostly consistent
 ;; with the Quail prefix input sequences.  Latin-4 uses the Quail
 ;; postfix sequences since a prefix method isn't defined for Latin-4.
 
+;; Non-Latin non-ASCII characters are generally displayed as ASCII
+;; strings remotely reminiscent of the original characters, as best as
+;; possible.  See `latin1-display-ucs-per-lynx'.

 ;; [A different approach is taken in the DOS display tables in
 ;; term/internal.el, and the relevant ASCII sequences from there are
 ;; available as an alternative; see `latin1-display-mnemonic'.  Only
