I do not believe that the display property works on text-only terminals. It definitely does not _seem_ to work. Unless I am mistaken about that, this should be clearly pointed out in (elisp)Display Property. Authors using the display property should take that fact into account and provide alternatives for text-only terminals, if possible. (Again, unless I would be mistaken.) In the case we are considering, one such alternative is to set `Info-hide-note-references' to nil on these terminals. Sincerely, Luc.
