 ** International characters aren't displayed under X.
 
-*** Missing X fonts

-XFree86 4 contains many fonts in iso10646-1 encoding which have
-minimal character repertoires (whereas the encoding part of the font
-name is meant to be a reasonable indication of the repertoire
-according to the XLFD spec).  Emacs may choose one of these to display
-characters from the mule-unicode charsets and then typically won't be
-able to find the glyphs to display many characters.  (Check with C-u
-C-x = .)  To avoid this, you may need to use a fontset which sets the
-font for the mule-unicode sets explicitly.  E.g. to use GNU unifont,
-include in the fontset spec:
-
-mule-unicode-2500-33ff:-gnu-unifont-*-iso10646-1,\
-mule-unicode-e000-ffff:-gnu-unifont-*-iso10646-1,\
-mule-unicode-0100-24ff:-gnu-unifont-*-iso10646-1

-** The UTF-8/16/7 coding systems don't encode CJK (Far Eastern) characters.
-
-Emacs directly supports the Unicode BMP whose code points are in the
-ranges 0000-33ff and e000-ffff, and indirectly supports the parts of
-CJK characters belonging to these legacy charsets:
-
-    GB2312, Big5, JISX0208, JISX0212, JISX0213-1, JISX0213-2, KSC5601
-
-The latter support is done in Utf-Translate-Cjk mode (turned on by
-default).   Which Unicode CJK characters are decoded into which Emacs
-charset is decided by the current language environment.  For instance,
-in Chinese-GB, most of them are decoded into chinese-gb2312.
-
-If you read UTF-8 data with code points outside these ranges, the
-characters appear in the buffer as raw bytes of the original UTF-8
-(composed into a single quasi-character) and they will be written back
-correctly as UTF-8, assuming you don't break the composed sequences.
-If you read such characters from UTF-16 or UTF-7 data, they are
-substituted with the Unicode 'replacement character', and you lose
-information.

+** Emacs hangs when using XIM

+This is due to an old bug in the implementation of the X protocol's
+XIM transport: when an input method crashes for some reason, Xlib
