It's an attempt to make Emacs compatible with what's out there in the field. Emacs should not require a special console setup to display error and warning messages properly. I think the font in use on my new box must be part of Linux itself, rather than being a default chosen by Gentoo and then loaded during booting. Emacs ought to be compatible with Linux. Why are these curly quotes being output without first checking that the device they're being output to can display them? [ .... ] -- Alan Mackenzie (Nuremberg, Germany).
