Trunk 24.3.50 (on OSX): multilingual invisibility

The latest versions of GNU Emacs 24.3, both self-compiled or
downloaded from "nightlies" (http://emacsformacosx.com/builds),  do
not display non-western glyphs (e.g. in "Show Multilingual Sample
Text") (on OSX 10.7.5 in any case). Is this my fault, a bad new
feature, or what should I do?

Many thanks,
Rembrandt

What is this "Show Multilingual Sample Text"? Is it the HELLO buffer from C-h H? On Mac OS X 10.6.8, Snow Leopard, at least the X client variant still works. I'll to build the NS variant and see whether C-h H works there!

My last 24.3.50 version (built 2012-11-06) (still) showed on screen
Chinese characters I  inserted in my multiscript texts (to be used in
xelatex). Now (2012-11-18) I get the western scripts (including German
Umlaut etc.) fine, but for the East Asian scripts only emptiness to see.
This is on OSX 10.7.5. It's useful to see what you type :-).

Best,
Rembrandt

Yes, with the exception of Georgian, Arabic, and Hebrew the samples in Asian scripts are not displayed. The version from one week ago has the same bug. The NS variant from five weeks ago, version 24.2.50 then, works OK.

You can read the Emacs News (C-h n or from the Help menu). If it's advertised there, then the behaviour is OK. If not, then create a bug report with the keyword "enhancement" in the subject. In the Help menu you have an entry to report an Emacs bug. Do you want to do it yourself – or do you think I think I should report one more? I might be able to do so in an hour or two… (earlier bug report in TeX Live)
