"Display code" might be misleading. There are no bugs I know of in display code proper (xdisp.c, dispnew.c) that I know of and are not fixed. I'm guessing you meant the problems I mentioned in the area of font selection, font back-ends, and character composition. Those are the problematic areas. Volunteers are more than welcome to work in these areas, whether by studying the code via bugs that need to be solved, or by any other means.
