So Emacs tries to use a font with a @code{registry} property of ``JISX0208.1983-0'' for characters belonging to that charset. > A @dfn{supplementary charset} is used to define another charset as its parent or > subset. > > [parent or child? ancestor or descendent? superset or subset? Not sure what's > correct here, but parent and subset are not parallel.] > I think the parent is the "another charset", and subset is the "supplementary charset". But as worded above, it isn't clear which charset "its parent or subset" is referring to anyway, so I'd reword it further: A @dfn{supplementary charset} is used to define another charset. It does not form a complete charset on its own, so should not generally be used directly. > Some of the charsets listed as supplementary are obsolete; they were used in > Emacs versions prior to version 23. > > [Is that correct?
